The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Brad Karp's resignation as Paul Weiss chair, after 18 years of transformational leadership, was a dignified response to media distractions that threatened to overshadow the firm's exceptional client service. By stepping aside, Karp has allowed the firm to refocus on its core mission under new leadership, enabling him to redirect his attention to serving Paul Weiss's clients.

Establishment-critical narrative

Karp's resignation exposes an unbelievable scandal, whereby the head of a major U.S. law firm actively coached Jeffrey Epstein on legal strategy while mocking his victims in writing. To make matters worse, Karp maintained a deeply inappropriate relationship with the convicted pedophile on the side, one that made Karp's resignation inevitable in the end.
