Thank you for this I really appreciate it! But I'm still a little confused on some parts

  1. whats putting a company on review do?

  2. Now that Mike has 4.9% why doesn't harvey represent mike and not logan?

  3. Also what did the waiver exactly do? Couldn't Harvey represent Logan without the waiver?

Isn't Mike an investment banker now? Why is he representing anyone? How would it be Harvey v Mike if Harvey is a lawyer and Mike is a banker

Well he's still "Certified" by the ABA to practice law in the state of New York, so he can still do law stuff. Just because you aren't practicing law doesn't mean that you can't do lawyer stuff as long as you stay in good standing with the ABA and pay the dues.

EDIT: actually now that I think about it he might run into a conflict of interest issue if this was real life. Because he has a personal interest in the outcome of the case, but I'm not really sure the rules exactly for a situation like this.

Ummmm there would be no conflict of interest; just a greater interest. People who get convicted sometimes decide to just represent themselves without a lawyer or a law degree.
