Regert not reporting a senior partner's behavior before it became a lawsuit

Everyone knew. The associates knew. The paralegals knew. The cleaning staff probably knew. I told myself it wasn't my place. That someone more senior would handle it. That maybe I was reading too much into it. Firm just settled for seven figures. Three careers destroyed. I could have said something in 2023 when I first saw it. If you're reading this and you're in the same position: say something. Go to the ethics hotline. Document everything. Don't be me.
