Slaughter and May and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer are among a number of international law firms to have picked up mandates on two major Hong Kong Stock Exchange listings that closed last week.

Courtroom 'Magician' Outduels Morgan Stanley

Plaintiffs attorney Jack Scarola has fought countless courtroom wars, first as a prosecutor in highly publicized criminal trials and then as a litigator in high-profile civil cases. His exploits have produced some bitter enemies, but his admirers are lavish in their praise. One describes him as a "magician with words." Scarola's $850 million win in financier Ronald O.

In today's landmark Supreme Court arguments over executive power in wartime, the Bush administration is outnumbered, if not outgunned. More than three dozen briefs have been filed on the side of Guantanamo Bay detainee Salim Hamdan, many from the nation's top law firms. "The blue-chip firms are all in this case," said David Remes, the Covington & Burling partner who coordinated the amicus curiae effort.
