UnitedLex CEO’s Sudden Departure Appears to Be Due to Personal Allegations Unrelated to Work

When UnitedLex this week introduced the sudden departure of James Schellhase from his place as chief govt officer, it appeared a thriller, since he had simply celebrated his one-year anniversary in that function and had even simply been on my LawNext podcast to mirror on that yr — an interview steered by the corporate. Even Schellhase’s LinkedIn profile abruptly disappeared.

However the day after his departure, video was posted to the social media platform X exhibiting a person who seems to be Schellhase being confronted by a bunch of 4 males related to Dads In opposition to Predators, which Wikipedia says is a vigilante group whose members pose as minors on the web to lure males into filmed, reside confrontations.

Elsewhere, a cofounder of the group posted screenshots alleged to point out chats between Schellhase and somebody he thought was a 15-year-old, arranging to fulfill.

I’ve no approach of confirming the veracity of any of those allegations.

A supply inside UnitedLex with data of the state of affairs stated that Schellhase’s departure had nothing to do together with his work there or any form of company or employment-related malfeasance. The supply stated that Schellhase had been a superb CEO throughout his tenure and that staff had been excited concerning the firm’s future with him on the helm.
