New Enforcement Chief Aims to Restore Confidence in SEC

As the top cop at the Securities and Exchange Commission, Robert Khuzami has spent his first six months as the director of the Division of Enforcement tackling a cleanup of major proportions. He's undertaken what many call the most sweeping changes of the division in 30 years. Under intense scrutiny from Congress and the SEC's own inspector general, the agency has come to a watershed moment. But change isn't easy, with staff reporting insecurity and doubt as they struggle to find their place in the new regime.

Mintz Levin Loses Bid to Up Diversity

In 2005, Mintz Levin unveiled a major initiative to enhance the firm's diversity, hiring 12 predominantly minority labor and employment attorneys in one fell swoop. Now, however, the attorneys have scattered to competing firms, leaving in their wake questions about how the much-touted group could fall apart in such a short period of time.

D.C. Firms Assess Price of Keeping Up With Next Round of Associate Raises

Eight months after Simpson Thacher raised starting salaries for first-year associates to $160,000, salaries for first-years at most of the 200 largest firms nationwide remain bunched at that rate. What New York firms had hoped was a raise too rich for out-of-town competitors with more pedestrian profits instead looks to be a failed attempt to segment the market. And now firms are bracing for another round of raises, probably ignited by a New York corporate firm looking to up the bidding war for talent.

Broad Impact Seen in AT&T Calling-Card Ruling

In a decision that could cost AT&T Corp. millions and trigger more litigation in the telecom industry, the FCC has denied a request to waive unpaid fees accrued through prepaid calling-card services. At the crux of the ruling is the FCC's struggle to distinguish between "information services" and "telecommunication services" -- definitions blurred by new Internet technologies.
