Andrea Orcel is suing Santander for 100 million euros after the Spanish bank yanked an offer to make him its chief executive. Breakingviews imagines what counsel the hard-charging former M&A banker might offer himself.I wanted to follow up on our dinner the other night where we discussed your future.
