Texas Hiring Shows Healthy Lateral Market

Lateral recruiting is a courtship, whether it starts with a casual comment at a pub or a whisper from a recruiting firm. Lateral hiring at Texas law firms increased in 2005, while the attrition rate held steady. Eighteen of the largest firms hired 463 laterals. Reasons for moves vary, and aren't always tied to dissatisfaction. Take Mike Graham, for example: He was happy at Baker Botts, but moved to Jones Day because he wanted to lengthen his practice's reach.

IP Litigators: Worth Their Weight in Gold?

Patent litigators are a must-have for firms, and they're willing to pay for them. Changing technology, consolidation of industries and the increasingly cross-border nature of IP battles are expanding the size and scope of patent cases. The median cost to take a patent case through trial increased from $2 million in 1995 to $5 million in 2005, according to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, which means that firms are missing a potential fee bonanza if they don't have enough lawyers on hand.

For Summer Associates, Size Does Matter

Small is beautiful, according to the more than 7,300 respondents to our Summer Associates Survey. Though the summers liked big firms, their evaluations show they liked life at small to midsize firms better. Students craved juicy assignments, friendly offices and lots of attention, and the firms that best met these needs tended to be medium-size, with smaller summer programs. Whether big or small, firms that did well in the survey focused on training, mentoring and involving summers in exciting projects.

Today American Express has 50 registered patents, and Thomas' two-lawyer IP department has drummed up enough cash through patent licensing to catch the interest of the company's business side.
