Jassy: ApologiesDewey Ballantine’s management has issued an internal apology to its staff after the New York firm was last week embroiled in a race row concerning a song performed by associates and partners at a firm event.

The move comes just days after the firm was heavily criticised for performing the ‘skit’ at an annual firm dinner in January, which parodied the announced closure of Deweys’ eight-lawyer Hong Kong branch.
