Representing Larry Silverstein in his quest to rebuild at Ground Zero has been the most demanding project that Wachtell Lipton has ever undertaken, with 71 lawyers working 100 hours or more on World Trade Center matters since 2001. It has also been Wachtell's most emotionally taxing representation. But at the behest of Silverstein, several Wachtell partners agreed to talk about all but the most confidential aspects of the deals, which many people say include the most complex agreements they have ever seen.

Australian Firms Building Bridges to China, via London

Recently regarded as regional also-rans next to U.S. and U.K. global players, Australian firms have been raising their profiles in the past year. They could aggressively expand in Asia's biggest markets, but that would mean going toe-to-toe with wealthier U.S. and U.K. firms that have already made large investments in offices and practices in the region, not to mention rising local firms.

It began, perhaps appropriately, at a romantic Manhattan restaurant. Mary Cranston, chair of San Francisco's Pillsbury Winthrop, was having a get-to-know-you lunch with Stephen Huttler, managing partner of D.C.'s Shaw Pittman. The meeting was outwardly casual. "It was kind of like a first date," Huttler recalls. But behind the pleasantries were hard business realities. Last week, after 13 months of courting, the firms announced they would tie the knot. Will the merger convince other law firms to pair off?

Boston in Common

The first time Judith Droz Keyes attended a Democratic National Convention was in 1968, and she never got inside. At the time, her husband was in Vietnam, in the same squadron as John Kerry. Eight months later, Keyes' husband died in battle, spurring her to participate in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.

Study Suggests Employees Treated Unfairly Under ADA

A 1998 study by the ABA's Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law found the defense prevailed 92 percent of the time in cases brought under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The survey examined 1,200 cases through the appeals process from 1992 through March 31, 1998. It suggests that a number of "legal technicalities" prevent the consideration of ADA cases on their merits. But even when cases are decided on their merits, the study found, "the law still favors the employer."
