Ryan Puts Tech-Crime Guru Nadel in Topslot
U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan handed management promotions Tuesday highlighting the emphasis federal prosecutors have placed on Silicon Valley. He topped the list by naming as chief of the criminal division Assistant U.S. Attorney Ross Nadel, who started the office's first-in-the-nation Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property, or CHIP, unit. Ryan said Nadel's elevation "signals the significance of computer and intellectual property and sophisticated white-collar crimes in the Northern District of California."O'Melveny Swipes Trio of Wilson M&A Partners

The recent salary increases for new associates in the United States may be having a ripple effect across the Atlantic Ocean. "We felt this year it was the right thing to do to be more in line with what we pay in the U.S.," says Weil Gotshal partner Michael Francies, whose London office recently boosted pay for newly qualified lawyers to the equivalent of more than $179,000 in U.S. dollars.
