Lawyer Count Drops in Some Top New York City Firms

The number of attorneys at leading New York law firms has dropped sharply. Attrition is on the rise, incoming associate classes are smaller, and the expanding job market has opened the door to opportunities at other law firms and in-house legal departments. In the past, high attrition left large firms understaffed. But so far the firms are able to handle their workloads. At least for the moment.

FDA's Pre-emption Rule Splits the Courts

Nearly one year after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a pre-emption on filing failure-to-warn actions over federally approved drugs, rulings across the nation show a clear division over the issue.

Firm Anxiety

Greenberg Traurig's L.A. story is a cautionary tale of firm expansion run amok. Since 1997, the Miami-based firm has opened 10 branch offices and more than tripled in size.
