A short dig on King & Spalding Law Firm.
King & Spalding is a white-shoe American international corporate law firm, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with offices located in North America, Europe, & Asia. It employs 1,100 lawyers in 23 offices globally.

The firm has additional offices in Austin, Charlotte, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. London, Abu Dhabi, Brussels, Dubai, Frankfurt, Geneva, Moscow, Paris, Riyadh, Singapore and Tokyo.

I'd not heard of "white shoe" before so I looked it up:
a white-shoe firm is a leading professional services firm in the US - in particular, firms that have either been in existence for more than a century & represent Fortune 500 companies, or...

a professional services firm serving clients that have been in existence for more than a century & represent Fortune 500 companies. The term typically refers to financial, law, & management consulting firms, traditionally those based in the Northeastern United States.

White shoe firms operate using the Cravath System. This is a model that covers every aspect of the business, including where and how to recruit staff: hire only the "best of the best", primarily from Harvard, Yale, & Columbia law schools for candidates.

Graduates were expected to be members of the Phi Beta Kappa/Beta Gamma Sigma system, and to have served as editors of their respective school's law review.

Distinctly, only new law graduates or those who had served as clerks after law school were to be hired.

Training Staff: Associates would be assigned to a partner for 18 months, where they would learn to break down large tasks into manageable pieces to lead. They would serve as apprentices of the partner's practice, and train on the job under close supervision and guidance.

Compensation: The system practices lockstep compensation. Early law firm hiring practices paid the associates nothing, except what they could bring in for themselves. Under lockstep, employees' salaries are paid purely on their seniority within the firm.

Tenure: only partners may have permanent employment at the firm, and as long as an associate was deemed worthy of promotion, they may stay; those who were not suitable for promotion were dismissed in a strictly enforced "up or out" staffing policy.

Choosing partners: partners should be chosen and promoted only from within the office.

Interests outside firm: Partners & associates may not have business interests outside the firm. Charitable, educational & artistic interests require permission from a senior partner.

In summary, we have law firm that's at least 100 years old, headquartered out of Atlanta, Georgia - one of the few states with massive election fraud, that happens to have offices in liberal cities across the nation and is also world wide.

They recruit only the "best of the best", primarily from Harvard, Yale, & Columbia law schools for candidates. They were expected to be members of the Phi Beta Kappa/Beta Gamma Sigma system, and to have served as editors of their respective school's law review.

The company's notable partners have most all been involved in US government from being US Attorney to Dir. of National Intelligence, senators, governors, US Treasury department.

Chris Wray has a penchant for hiring buddies from KSLaw to work in the FBI with him, and two disgraced government employees, Rod Rosenstein and Sally Yates, have both been rehired by KSLaw and work on the Government investigation team....

Is it any wonder that we have been unable to drain the swamp? Seriously. And this is but ONE law firm like this. How many others are there?
