Boies Schiller partner Joshua Schiller is off the hook for what was alleged to be domestic abuse. As Joe Patrice at Abovethelaw reports, the district attorney essentially said there was no case. In addition, an internal investigation by Danya Perry of Perry Guha also cleared Joshua.
However, issues remain.
At the top of the list is nepotism in law firms. Joshua is the son of the firm's co-founder Jonathan Schiller. Suppose this pickel Joshua has been in damaged the firm's brand and ability to attract new business? Because he is the son of the co-founder, the matter is this: Would it have been impossible or unsually difficult to fire him? That's a central concern about nepotism.
Another issue is the protocol for law firms during crisis. Patrice indicates Boies Schiller did lots of that right. For example, it released information in a timely manner - a best practice in crisis management. But what more could have been done or approached differently?
Currently, Boies Schiller is a damaged brand for reasons that have nothing to do with Joshua's run-in with law enforcement. The media focus now will shift from the Joshua saga to the macro problem of reputation restoration at Boies Schiller.
