24. Pierce Bainbridge "going through some things"
Fri Jan 24, 2020, 10:05 AM

Six partners, some of whom have been at the firm for less than a year, have left Pierce Bainbridge since August, according to announcements at their new firms or public posts.

excerpt

Meanwhile, the litigation between Pierce Bainbridge and a former partner, Donald Lewis, which burst into public view earlier this year, is still making headlines almost every month. Lewis said he was fired for telling Pierce to stop wasting money that had been loaned to the firm by litigation funders such as Pravati Capital, and he has filed pages of screenshots of texts, Slack messages and emails that depict Pierce as a sexist with substance abuse issues and his partners as unwilling to stop him.

The firm has fired back with a suit of its own that accuses Lewis of engaging in extortion. Pierce Bainbridge has said Lewis’ allegations are false and meant to distract from the fact that he was terminated amid a probe into a staffer’s sexual assault allegations that it deemed credible. Lewis has said those allegations are false.
