I think Chuck's motives are deeper than professional. Of course, he wants to protect his firm. But I think he's also jealous of Jimmy, who has the people skills Chuck doesn't -- they even work on Rebecca! Growing up, Chuck was always the serious, hard-working one; Jimmy cut corners but people didn't care because he was popular. Chuck has always resented that.
Telling that story to Kim was a way to get her to distance herself from Jimmy. A twofer: Good for the firm -- and sure to hurt Jimmy.
