Racketeering Lawsuit by Biovail Backfires Against Company and Lawyers

Biovail Corp. was supposed to be the victim, the ill-used dupe of powerful hedge funds, analysts and bankers, whose short-selling scheme to spread false information about the company led to a plunge in its share price in 2003. And Biovail's respected litigators from Howrey and Kasowitz Benson were to be the ones to help the company prove it.

Texas Two-Step: Giuliani and Houston's Bracewell Learn the Politics of Dancing

In return, Giuliani got a pile of cash, an easy job and partners with ties to Texas Republicans. But politics can test the best of unions.

The first CEO charged under the anti-fraud Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Scrushy walked. But he wasn't so lucky a second time; in a separate trial, he was convicted of bribing former Alabama Gov.

IP Litigators: Worth Their Weight in Gold?

Patent litigators are a must-have for firms, and they're willing to pay for them. Changing technology, consolidation of industries and the increasingly cross-border nature of IP battles are expanding the size and scope of patent cases. The median cost to take a patent case through trial increased from $2 million in 1995 to $5 million in 2005, according to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, which means that firms are missing a potential fee bonanza if they don't have enough lawyers on hand.
