A delayed revelation of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms. While not widely known, Jones Day is recognized in power circles and serves as a powerful reflection of the changes that have reshaped the legal profession in recent years. Founded in the USA in 1893, it has become one of the largest law firms globally, with deep connections to corporate interests and conservative politics.
A significant player in the legal battles surrounding the Trump administration, Jones Day has also represented the Tobacco Industry for decades, defended opioid manufacturers, and worked tirelessly to minimize the sexual abuse scandals of the Catholic Church. Like many of its peers, it has repeatedly fought for those who wish to operate without restrictions or scrutiny — including Russian oligarchs as they seek to expand internationally.
In this fascinating and revealing new work of non-fiction writing, the New York Times Business Investigations Editor and bestselling author David Enrich finally tells the story of 'Big Law' and the nearly unchecked influence these firms wield to protect the wealthy and powerful — and bury their secrets.
