I'm just as interested to know who the lawyers were.

Agree, lawyers have the resposability to represent their clients regardless of their own interest, its actually unethical and illegal to do otherwise. VC were just asshole, lawyers committed malpractice.

Considering how little we know of the facts, and that it's a "very well-known Valley firm", it's a bit premature to conclude that the lawyers committed malpractice.

It would be more useful to me to know who they aren't. I know there are bad VCs and bad lawyers; I just care that mine aren't :)

cool that you encourage people to speak up on the internet, not only in private talks
