Model Behavior

Any formula that slices legal budgets is likely to seduce in-house counsel, particularly when company higher-ups are looking to trim the bottom line. And outsourcing -- diverting legal work to companies other than law firms -- is exploding in popularity among corporate counsel, led by chemical-producing giant DuPont's so-called Legal Model.

Stung by the defection of all of its partners in London and Moscow, Coudert Brothers is considering a lawsuit against Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, which hired the partners away. Coudert has retained Barry Ostrager, the co-head of litigation at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, to investigate whether Orrick and the departing partners breached confidences gained in merger discussions between the two firms.

Timing Seen as Everything in Patent Infringement Claim

The timing of PostX Corp.'s infringement suit against e-mail encryption rival Sigaba didn't sit well with the company. Sigaba claims the suit, filed right after it won a big contract from Bank of America, was designed to derail its deal. Though not uncommon in patent disputes, antitrust counterclaims can be hard to prove and judges have become less willing to grant summary judgment. But Sigaba thinks it can buck that trend.

An hour before a divorce court hearing last week, Hartford lawyer Nancy Tyler was kidnapped from her law firm's CityPlace garage and held hostage at gunpoint in her South Windsor home all day while her ex-husband, advertising executive Richard Shenkman, issued bizarre demands, threatening murder, suicide and death to the police. Miraculously, Tyler, 57, freed herself and escaped at dusk. Shenkman continued the standoff, set fire to the family home, and when the heat drove him out, police disarmed him with non-lethal rounds.
