RollOnFriday has always shone a light on misogyny in the profession, but Harvey Weinstein's exposure made stories of lawyers leveraging their power to benefit their groins even more relevant. 

Back in April before the tsunami hit, a Clifford Chance partner was caught rogering a secretary in the office. But he was beaten in the public exposure stakes by a Willkie Farr partner. He was caught performing oral sex on his assistant by not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six passing lawyers. 

A Weil partner gave his trainee a nude piggyback ride, a Winckworth Sherwood partner groped staff at a Christmas party and then another solicitor did the same, which triggered a series of complaints about his behaviour. One enterprising student took the safe option and gave up her law degree to become a porn star (SFW).

NB: not all lawyers.

In the weeks after the Weinstein scandal, a number of lawyers contacted RollOnFriday with harrowing allegations. Details identifying the alleged abusers were removed where victims did not wish to be identified. Allegations were made against K&L Gates, which was accused of protecting a sex pest lawyer. But much of what was alleged cannot be printed, at least until witnesses are prepared to give their names to RollOnFriday so their accounts can be investigated.

But law has felt the ripples of the reckoning. Allen & Overy was horribly caught up when it was revealed to have negotiated an NDA on Weinstein's behalf to shut up one of his UK victims. A few weeks later two Debevoise lawyers were "frogmarched from the building" for allegedly making demeaning remarks about women. And there has been a backlash: a lawyer wrote to the Financial Times decrying "out-of-control" feminism. RollOnFriday revealed, however, that he had a conviction for groping a woman on a night bus. Who would have thought it.
