They quit because representing Trump was bad for business.


Big Law is a lot of things, but it is primarily about maintaining reputation. Reputation is the only reason I can think of why smart business people feel compelled to pay absurd fees, for the same work you could pay 300-500 an hour for a whole lot fewer hours.

Nobody ever got fired because they paid Jones Day 50 times more than a reasonably competent local litigation shop, and lost the case. But people can and do get fired for hiring the local shop, and losing.
