Law students at Otago University are not ready to forgive Russell McVeagh for the sex assault scandal that rocked the legal world in 2018. Rose said an anonymous survey of Otago Students who had been summer clerks with Russell McVeagh in 2018/19, was "overwhelmingly positive toward re-establishing a sponsorship relationship". Attached to the email, was a statement from Russell McVeagh detailing what the company had done to transform its culture. With the vast resources Russell McVeagh has access to - it is inexcusable that it hasn't met the recommendations a year later." The Otago University Law Faculty also suspended all access to campus by Russell McVeagh, including posters, workshops, and student recruitment, while the firm went through their internal review.
