| #1 Reuters story, same subject. Excerpt: A Mayer Brown [Chicago law firm] spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. The Times report quoted Mayer Brown lawyer Duane Layton, who was involved in the trade talks, as saying that he did not have any evidence that he or his firm had been under scrutiny by Australian or U.S. intelligence agencies. "I always wonder if someone is listening, because you would have to be an idiot not to wonder in this day and age," he told the Times. "But I've never really thought I was being spied on." Commenting on the report, Kent Zimmermann, a consultant at law firm consulting firm Zeughauser Group, told Reuters: "It was only a matter of time before this happened to a U.S. law firm and was publicly reported ... There is a widely held perception that U.S. law firms are the soft underbelly of corporate America when it comes to vulnerability of spying and hacking." |
