Bingham's Attrition: Big Trouble or Brilliant Rightsizing?

By some measures, Bingham McCutchen's L.A. office is in trouble. One recruiter calls it "a headless horseman." Another says it's "bleeding lawyers." It ranked last on a recent associate satisfaction survey. But firm leaders say appearances can be deceiving. The firm's acquisition strategy -- seven mergers since 1997 -- results in scooping up lawyers who don't want to be at Bingham. "Not all attrition is bad attrition," says firm Chairman Jay Zimmerman. But deceiving or not, can appearances be damaging?

New Front in Abortion Fight

Eleven states already have laws singling out clinics for special treatment, dubbed "TRAP" laws, short for Targeted Restrictions on Abortion Providers, and another 10 are considering them.

A Shocking Fall From Grace

At one point, Waterbury native John Michael Farren was considered a hot commodity in the Republican Party. He had started his political career in the mid-1970s as campaign director for U.S. Rep. Ronald Sarasin of Connecticut and was a leader of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce.

But many lawyers and politicians in Connecticut said they hadn't heard of Farren, 57, before he was arrested on attempted murder charges last week after allegedly strangling and beating his wife in their New Canaan home.
