"Our hope is to build a strong presence in California, starting in Los Angeles and hopefully moving up the state." The L.A. location is the 850-lawyer firm's 18th office.

Policing Detours On the Info Road

Simply by making a typo, or perhaps by typing ".com" rather than ".org," even the most literate Internet user can wind up somewhere he had no intention of going. Sometimes these trips down the side streets of the superhighway can lead to startling destinations, including pornographic sites. But with increasing frequency, these excursions now lead the unwitting into the clutches of savvy marketers looking for e-commerce dollars, sometimes by the extortion of well-known companies and individuals.

Big Tobacco Companies Battle Over Altria-Backed Bill to Impose FDA Regulation

Altria, which owns tobacco giant Philip Morris International, is one of the perhaps surprising backers of a bill that would give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco. Critics say Philip Morris' motive may be less than altruistic, and that their real goal is to squeeze out competitors.

Eight months after Simpson Thacher raised starting salaries for first-year associates to $160,000, salaries for first-years at most of the 200 largest firms nationwide remain bunched at that rate. What New York firms had hoped was a raise too rich for out-of-town competitors with more pedestrian profits instead looks to be a failed attempt to segment the market.
