GORDON CAPLAN WILLKIE FULL
“I take full and sole responsibility for my conduct and I am deeply ashamed of my behavior and my actions,” Caplan said in a statement released Friday. We remain focused on our responsibilities to our clients, partners and employees.”Ĭaplan appeared in federal court in Boston last Wednesday with others charged in the notorious case, including actress Lori Loughlin, of “Full House,” her fashion designer husband Mossimo Gianulli, and actress Felicity Huffman, a star of “Desperate Housewives.” He and the other defendants waived their right to a pre-trial hearing. “At Willkie, nothing is more important to us than our integrity and we do not tolerate behavior that runs contrary to our core values. Caplan’s departure is a result of his involvement in the college admissions matter and his recent statement regarding his intent to plead to a criminal charge,” the firm said in a statement to The American Lawyer.
