The "Shoemaker’s Children.." Syndrome

Interesting post at the WSJ Law Blog about a major global law firm eliminating the position of their own General Counsel. 

Where did the incumbent come from?  

KPMG
Seems like the guy should have know it was too good to be true to hold a well-paying job managing risk in a global partnership and not be expected to take any risk himself…
See my comment, too.
