Bound by a love of adventure, hard work and danger, three lawyers who met as associates at New York City's Brown & Wood, chose their next challenge together: adventure racing. Robert Ladd, Amber Railley and Alastair Onglingswan opted for a toned-down version of the sport, which typically involves traversing hundreds of miles over the course of 10 days.

O'Melveny & Myers said Thursday it would increase its first-year associate salaries in Washington, D.C., to $145,000 -- and in turn threw down a challenge to D.C.-based firms, saying the market for talent had changed.
