The D.C. Bar's Board on Professional Responsibility has recommended a 30-day suspension for attorney Gregory Hawn for allegedly padding his resume. In April, Legal Times reported that the D.C. Bar Counsel had accused Hawn, an associate at Bracewell & Giuliani, of falsifying his resume and altering his law school transcript while trying to get a job at Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw. Hawn quit Bracewell after the firm learned of the charge, which arose after he used a recruiter to aid in the attempted move.

Most U.K. firms with London practices have announced their new associate pay deals.

The 35-year-old Greenberg Traurig corporate partner practices what's known as ultimate fighting. To the unschooled, matches look pretty much like two people beating each other up with just about every type of move but eye gouges.

Wilson Sonsini to Close Salt Lake City Office

Within two months, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati says it will close the 13-lawyer Salt Lake City outpost it opened in 2001. The firm says the office's closing is not "a failure" and was driven by a decision to bring partner Robert O'Connor back to the San Francisco Bay Area to help organize and manage Wilson Sonsini's growing clean-tech practice. Longtime corporate partner Mark Bonham (pictured) will remain in Utah, bringing four associates with him to 90-lawyer local firm Ray Quinney & Nebeker.

Six Real Estate Lawyers Move Out From MoFo

A group of Morrison & Foerster real estate and land use partners are headed to 100-lawyer real estate firm Cox, Castle & Nicholson. The moves echo a trend that larger law firms are increasingly seeing, of less lucrative practices falling by the wayside.
