[redmike65]

Why do obviously intelligent people behave so idiotically and in a sustained fashion?

I wondered if that might happen. I'd imagine their clients would be quite shocked to see that from a top level lawyer, and the publicity would surely be quite damaging. The guy should known better for sure, but there did seem an element of him revealing his true colours watching the interview.

I think it's a great stance to take. What he said, and the disrespect he displayed towards not just another team, but another city was completely out of order, and it has cost him his job.

The message this sends out is a good one

Underperforming lawyer gives firm a perfect opportunity to sack him shocker. Compare this to the Nick West fellow who engaged in epic bantz with the FA and is still lucratively employed because he bills shedloads with - yes, you've guessed it, the FA!

[redmike65]

How would you know about his success levels within the firm?

He was apparently 2014 insurance Lawyer of the year, I assume that's an indicator of his standing, so he was not underperforming.

I know what you mean, it's pissing in the wind. But this guy clearly felt it was acceptable to 'air his views', this shows it is not.

[Shaggy]

He was a partner too so I think they would have had to buy him out?

[fah-q]

Smacks a little of the Hamlin, Hamlin and McGill debacle.

[Nicey]

Sounds like something an entitled Chelsea fan would spout.

oww that was low

You submit your own reviews for those awards, they're all bent. And you're only as good as your last performance. A bit of bringing the firm into disrepute is a god-sent cheap as chips instasacking in the world of law firms. Also, they're partners not employees so the sling your hook rules are a bit different. If he was bringing in the big bucks no way would they have binned him.

[Gibbo]

If watching Suits has taught me anything. They wanted him gonna for a while and this was their chance.

[Fosterbloke]

oww that was low

Not as low as Chelsea are right now

PS you have to wonder what he was thinking! He didn't even looked pissed. One expensive rant [emoji16]
