Ethics

[edited after reading the complaint]  Above the News carries new news, including a complaint filed with the DC Bar. I've mostly seen accounts of the language of the companies that made pitches to H&W rather than direct proof that H&W crossed a line.  But the complaint has extensive quotations from emails of those companies, suggesting some form of interaction with the firm.  It will take some painstaking reading to decide what knowledge and interaction the firm had.

And, to follow up on the comments by Steve and Brad, is there any point where the press criticism -- as opposed to law suits and formal investigations -- unseals the lawyers' lips under 1.6(b)?  My sense is "no," because lawyers are supposed to take the heat.
