Remove "White shoe" adjective[edit]

The article should be an informational piece. Not a vehicle to promote unfortunate stereotypes from an era of ethnic, racial, and religious intolerance. What purpose does "white shoe" serve in this article. If editors want to call attention to the age of the organization, or rather the former entities which combined, they can do so. If editors want to describe market size, then they can quote figures showing revenues or profitability. Following the link within wikipedia of White shoe firm even shows that the negative connotations persist. Please, let's have a wiki resource that is free of such. --Knowsetfree (talk) 16:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have an axe to grind or are overly-sensitive. "White shoe" is as much a real historical term as it is a term that carries certain socioeconomic connotations. It is thus a historical fact, that some firms, including D&L, were white shoe. I'm sure the writers of this article wanted to call attention to more than the firm's age or market share, but also to its "white shoe-ness". Your anger is irrational and inexplicable.

New topic - Partners distribution witheld, favored partner guarantees[edit]

A major component to the problems at Dewey LeBoeuf is that many partners have had their profit sharing numbers withheld. Also, the firm had unconventional bond financing, in addition to a line of credit with bank syndicate. These publicized problems are causing the partner exodus. Sorry, but I don't have the time to do these edits now with proper sourcing. Perhaps another editor can do this. Certainly, potential clients or job interviewees should have the benefit of the public knowledge on this firm. Wiki should not be a PR tool, the truth should be shared. --Knowsetfree (talk) 20:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Current events in the "history" section[edit]

I don't understand how current events should be considered history. Maybe that's just me. At least censorship isn't being imposed. Reuters, Bloomberg, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and numerous industry specific journals have much about this firm. --Knowsetfree (talk) 19:10, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
