But, as far as the firm is concerned, things could be worse. So far, Mayer Brown has succeeded in beating back nearly every attempt to hold it liable in civil suits for the damage caused by Refco's collapse in 2005.

Extreme Takeover

At key moments in what would be the longest merger fight in U.S. history, PeopleSoft and its lawyers fought among themselves about as much as they jousted with Oracle. PeopleSoft waived privilege to make a point with a Delaware judge and then sat back while a new counsel blunted its effect.
