It was a warm evening in June when Hale and Dorr partner David Sylvester had a conversation that would divert his career and rattle his firm. He was talking to his 10-year-old daughter at the kitchen table. "We were chatting about some problem she was having at school," Sylvester recalls. "She said, 'My teacher understands because he knows me better than you do.'"
