All publicity is good publicity, right? For the right kind of celebrity, maybe. For a law firm? Not so much.
Still, some law firm marketing experts said that Morgan, Lewis & Bockius shouldn't be overly concerned about its unusual turn in the public eye last week, when its ties to President Donald Trump and its past work in Russia were again in the news.
The firm became a punchline on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, when a letter from two Morgan Lewis lawyers to Trump made its way into the “Weekend Update” segment. The show came just months after “SNL” spoofed Morgan Lewis partner Sheri Dillon over her appearance at a press conference with Trump over his potential business conflicts.
