Peter Haje, A Highly Regarded Lawyer.

Then there was Peter Haje, one of the most accomplished and respected corporate lawyers in the country, whose legal career had been devoted to Time Warner. Back in the 1960s, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Haje had started working for Steve Ross, helping him assemble his empire, piece by piece. In 1990, Haje, then a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison, joined Time Warner as general counsel. In his decade of service to the company, Haje had proved to be a brilliant legal adviser; he was also known for his absolute discretion and loyalty. On hearing about the AOL deal, Haje was enraged. Even more, he felt sickened by Levin's lack of respect for him. True, Haje had announced his retirement and on January 1, 2000, he'd been succeeded by Chris Bogart. But still, all through 1999, when the AOL deal was brewing, Haje had been the company's top lawyer. Why would Levin have frozen him out? If in the past Haje had ever had reservations about Levin, if he'd ever questioned Levin's abilities as CEO (and he had), Haje had always kept his thoughts to himself. No longer. Now Haje told friends that the AOL deal was a disaster in the making; he wished only the worst for Levin.
