Latham & Watkins' Pro Bono Figures Show It's Not All About Money

The numbers aren't all in yet, but Los Angeles' Latham & Watkins couldn't wait -- it had to spread the word that even while it's California's most profitable law firm, it's not all about the money. The firm donated about $15 million in pro bono work last year. That accounts for 63,669 hours, which satisfies the firm's goal of donating 3 percent of its total billables to pro bono.

Patent Pending at Milberg

The king of securities class actions is getting into the IP game. Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach has set its sights on a new and potentially lucrative area of the law.

L.A. Firms' Dirty Little Secret: Hourly Rates

The big firms are getting used to announcing gross revenues that have become, well, gross. They're begrudgingly willing to talk about partner draws that are moving to the million-dollar neighborhood. What the big law firms are still downright shy about are the building blocks of all that filthy lucre: billing rates. Los Angeles insiders don't want to go on the record about charging $500 for partners. Why? "When you start raising rates, you change the way lawyers view each other," says one recruiter.

Bronfman claimed Lime Wire had devastated the music business, but was forced to admit that he would make billions from Warner. More ominously for Bronfman, he faced the possibility of having to tell the jury about his recent insider trading conviction in France.

Gold Diggers

Amazon gets it. Wired didn't. In September, the Internet bookseller won a patent for its one-click ordering system. Then Amazon.com pounced on its chief rival, barnesandnoble.com, claiming patent infringement. In early December, Amazon won a preliminary injunction, forcing barnesandnoble.com to change its ordering system at the height of Christmas shopping.
