"<p>In an article entitled &quot;Crew of defunct firm&#39;s so resilient, it should be illegal&quot; in&nbsp;<em>Crain&#39;s</em> the week of April 14-20, on how quickly the New York City partners of the defunct Brobeck firm found positions, <a href=\"http://www.pbwt.com/korman_rochelle_bio/\">Rochelle Korman</a>, Patterson Belknap Webb &amp; Tyler managing partner is quoted: &quot;The proof is in the pudding. Here you have a group of lawyers who, despite the dissolution of their firm,have landed on their feet -- which means that the industry, despite the economy, by and large, is in good shape.&quot;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The following week (April 28-May 4) a <em>Crain&#39;s</em> article quotes Partner <a href=\"http://www.pbwt.com/schaeffer_peter_bio/\">Peter Schaeffer</a> in the article, &quot;Touche, Deloitte: Rivals snap up worried clients.&quot; The article considers the wisdom of accounting firms also performing consulting services for clients. Since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was signed into law last summer, some clients are intent upon using different firms for their auditing and consulting services. Says Peter Schaeffer: &quot;Operating under the umbrella of auditing and consulting businesses is going to be such a burden for Deloitte. . . Companies want to appear squeaky-clean.&quot; And, he concludes, &quot;Deloitte has no choice but to try again to spin off its consulting business.&quot;</p>\r\n"
