Palm Ball: The Small Will Survive

Whether you're on the playground or in the boardroom, it pays to have better toys than your peers. Attorney Kenneth Chernof knows that feeling.

More bankruptcies, more hourly rates

In years past, researching our annual Going Rate section was-oddly enough-fun. Scouring Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings for lawyers' hourly rates became a peculiar winter sport of sorts, with friends and family morphing into bankruptcy sources, e-mailing tips when they ran across new filings.
