&lt;p&gt;On the agenda today:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/em&gt; reports today that the Washington Media Group (no relation), a government lobbying and consulting organization, has broken ties with the government of Tunisia because of its &quot;approach to important civil rights and civil liberties issues.&quot; According to the &lt;em&gt;Post&lt;/em&gt;, the firm&#39;s consulting contract with the Tunisian government was worth around $420,000 for the year, for which Washington Media Group &quot;provided communications counsel on, among other things, human rights, press freedoms and censorship of the Internet.&quot;  &quot;It was clear to us the Tunisian government was not going to implement the recommendations and work product we provided,&quot; said Gregory L. Vistica, the firm&#39;s president.  Of course, all of this comes in the midst of widespread violence and demonstrations in the North African country, where protesters are demanding the removal of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali from power after decades in the role.  The &lt;em&gt;Post&lt;/em&gt; notes that it&#39;s quite rare to see a Western consultancy cancel a contract with a foreign government; such firms regularly engage governments of ill repute, the publication asserts, so it&#39;s strange to see a contract cancelled solely because of damaging headlines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In slightly less intriguing news, law firm Squire Sanders &amp;amp; Dempsey announced today the hiring of a management consultant to head the firm&#39;s strategy and development efforts.  Susan Saltonstall Duncan is that consultant, &lt;em&gt;Legal Week&lt;/em&gt; reports, who will leave behind a consulting firm which she built from scratch, RainMaking Oasis.   Squire Sanders representatives called Duncan&#39;s role &quot;a new position for the firm.&quot;  &quot;Susan will have a major strategic role in terms of business development and helping us to develop our practice firmwide,&quot; the firm&#39;s European managing partner said. &quot;She will also be giving business development and leadership coaching to our partners and assisting with the continued integration of our offices.&quot;  Leadership coaching for BigLaw partners?  Nice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Happy weekend!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For more information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;em&gt;Legal Week&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
