Luce Moves Forward by Defying Trend

San Diego-based Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps has big plans to bolster its trust and estates department, despite a trend among large law firms to drop that practice area.

Chicago Blows Into Firms' View

For high-grossing coastal law firms looking for another base, Chicago has traditionally not been the Second City, even with its now $350 billion economy. But that's changing. Since the start of 2001, 13 Am Law 200 firms have opened or greatly expanded offices there -- and more arrivals are expected. Other out-of-towners have concentrated on acquiring well-established locals and have set about wooing laterals and possible merger partners.

Justice Deferred: DOJ Gets Companies to Turn Snitch

Increasingly, aggressive federal prosecutors are willing to put criminal charges they have filed against corporations on hold in exchange for cooperation in their investigations.

Running in Place

As soon as Duane Morris gets as big as it can, it turns around and gets bigger. In 1997 the Philadelphia-based firm had about 225 lawyers; today, it's 550, and by 2007, firm chair Sheldon Bonovitz expects to have 1,000 lawyers.

Koch Industries is buying Georgia-Pacific Corp., but it's too soon to tell what will happen to Georgia-Pacific's 51 in-house attorneys or its outside law firms. A large acquisition doesn't always result in the closing of the acquired company's in-house law department, says Daniel J. DiLucchio Jr., a principal with legal consulting firm Altman Weil.

Anti-Terrorism Verdicts Spur Big Fee Fights

When attorneys agreed to champion the causes of American victims of terrorism in the Middle East, it wasn't supposed to be about the money. But the prospect of multimillion-dollar fees in what once seemed to be long-shot litigation against Iran has left lawyers fighting over fees in federal court in Washington, D.C. International law and justice aren't at stake. It's simply a matter of who gets paid.
