The collapse of Louis Mattioli’s old law firm covered the front pages of every major news network. It had everything needed to hold the public’s attention for at least a few days. Corrupt partners disappearing into the stars. Employees left high and dry at a firm too broke to even pay their wages. And then there was Louis. His first reaction to the news was to guarantee their wages while the bankruptcy court went to work. As long as they were willing to work for him, of course. There were a number of companies looking for legal representation after all, and he would need a large number of employees to service those contracts. Many of the firm’s employees accepted his offer, including a majority of the old timers who had been around when he built the place, and Louis massively expanded the reach of his firm in a matter of days. He did not pick up all the contracts, since many companies wanted out of the whole situation, but he picked up enough to easily pay his new employees.
