David Enrich’s “Servants of the Damned” is a critique of the biggest legal companies in the world, with a particular emphasis on Jones Day, a firm closely associated with conservative ideology and business interests. The book exposes how these companies use their almost limitless ability to conceal the identities of the rich and powerful and to protect them.
It includes Jones Day’s portrayal of Russian oligarchs, Fox News, the Catholic Church, Big Tobacco, and Donald Trump. The book makes the case that legal practices such as Jones Day have a significant, if mostly unnoticed, part in supporting and shielding strong bad actors in our society.
