Earlier this month, the former vice president of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Steward had announced his resignation following differences over mistreatment of a lawyer he recruited at the firm. As head of the firm’s diversity committee in 2006 and 2007, he played a key role in recruiting talented minority lawyers for Ogletree Deakins.

At the time Don Prophete had said he would be joining a competing law firm with a team of lawyers.

However, Kim Ebert, the managing shareholder of Ogletree Deakins had asserted in response to Don Prophete’s claims, “Quite to the contrary, we have received reassuring and supportive communications from a variety of our lawyers – as well as credible information that, in fact, Don’s overtures have been directly rebuffed.”
