U.S. law firm Barber Ranen has changed its name, the firm announced Wednesday, after the publication of racist, antisemitic, homophobic and violently misogynistic emails written by founding partners John Barber and Jeffrey Ranen, reported Reuters. The emails were written while they were employed by their previous firm, Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith. In May, Barber and Ranen led an exodus of 140 lawyers from their former firm. Barber and Ranen resigned from the new firm on Monday.
