He notified the lead counsel at his employer before and after suing Apple. So the question is, why did he still work there until recently?

- DannyBee 13y agoThe article does not say this. It says "He had told Morgan Lewis' general counsel at the time about the lawsuit" It doesn't cite a source. The rest around it is in quotes, so it's not clear if this is the article author's interpretation of what John McAleese's said, or the article author's personal view. If it's the former, you have to be very very careful, because they are all lawyers. The literal wording is "He had told Morgan Lewis' general counsel at the time about the lawsuit". It does not say "He had told Morgan Lewis' general counsel at the time of his involvement in the lawsuit". He could have emailed the general counsel saying "Hey, it looks like apple got sued again. I bet we'll make some money from them on this!" etc

- rayiner 13y agoIt doesn't say what he told them. There is, by itself, nothing unethical about a lawyer's wife suing a company who is a client of the lawyer's firm in a different practice area, as long as appropriate measures are taken to maintain client confidences. It's not 1870 and husbands and wives aren't considered the same person anymore.
