Advice to law firm management:
Remove serial predator Eddie Raychaudhuri ASAP and pay restitution to the victims.
Pros:
Green newbie CEO Scott D. Cessar as desperate attempt look like a BigLaw firm, did little to no due diligence, bringing on poser and known serial sexual predator Eddie Raychaudhuri. This shows his poor judgment and that he is unfit to serve, as even after truth bring brought to his attention, he has yet to remove the dead wood that is Eddie Raychauhuri.
Partners to Avoid and Why:
Eckert Seamans' COO Eddie Raychadhuri is serial sexual predator
"Eddie" (real name Anupam) Raychadhuri committed multiple sexual assaults and gropings.
Eddie Raychadhuri reaches his hand UNDER female associates' shirt out of nowhere without consent and proceeds to sexually assault. There were witnesses. And this is just a PART of the PATTERN of assaults he has committed. Upon looking into his background, it has been found that he has also climbed in the bed of sleeping females in the middle of the night (they were alone when going to bed thinking it was safe), taking advantage and fondling without consent. He is a serial sexual predator.
His previous employer where he got FIRED from for the same thing stated he was "raised in a barn". His conduct has been inappropriate and there is nothing professional about him.
Lawyers are prohibited from conduct that "prejudicial to the administration of justice" or that "adversely reflects on fitness to practice." Courts and disciplinary committees have consistently held that sexual violence or coercion by an attorney demonstrates a profound lack of integrity and fitness to practice law.
Eddie Raychaudhuri's actions reflect adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer, and failing to dismiss him reflects adversely on the integrity, trustworthiness and fitness as a firm. Eddie Raychaudhuri is a serious liability and a serial perpetrator. Scott didn't do his due diligence, putting everyone in danger letting in this low-value poser and predator and damaging the reputation of the firm by association.
