From Public to Private Employment: Companies Seek Exiting Government Lawyers for Hire

Corporate America is taking advantage of an increasingly popular strategy of hiring a top government regulator as general counsel.

Extreme Makeover: From Patent Troll to the Belle of the Ball

Acacia Technologies has been a venture capital group, patent troll and now, a respected patent-holding company.
