Change of logo and COI editors
I have changed the logo to the January 2019 version. See this exchange on the User talk page of a paid editor. I have also added a list of COI and paid editors above. They are probably not the only ones. Over the years, this article has been edited by various other single-purpose accounts which were pretty clearly connected to the firm. The most recent attempt at adding blatant advertising began in January 2019 with this edit by an IP which resolves to Chicago where McDermott Will & Emery is headquartered. Further attempts to add the text were made by two of the editors listed above. See and. Voceditenore (talk) 11:25, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Yet another account has attempted to add this material today . The next time any account or IP attempts to re-add this blatant copyvio and blatant advertising to the article, the edit will be immediately reverted and that account/IP and all three of the previous accounts who had added it will be taken to the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard.
