Trump's lawyers walked because he wants an "election was stolen" defence which would involve them misleading the court as stated above.
They were constitutional lawyers ready to argue you can't convict an ex-prez or something similar.

like everything there's a way around that right ? diary booked for the next year solid / we're not taking on any clients right now etc ?
In theory, yes, although that too would be a breach of my professional obligations if I used it to turn down instructions from a particular client. In practice it wouldn't work, even if I wanted to do so, because my clerks accept instructions on my behalf. So I'd have to tell the clerks 'If Scumbag McScumbag tries to instruct me, I'm busy, nudge nudge', and which point I think stern words would be spoken by my senior clerk and Head of Chambers.
