Below are our top posts for November. As usual, we don’t include our regular features like This Week in Layoffs and The Month in Layoffs in the Top 10 posts for the month.
10 – Firm Fight! Ropes v Kirkland – The two firms had divided up the Bain Capital work along geographic lines, but Ropes has decided to take the fight to Kirkland by opening a UK office.
9 – Goldman Engagement Letter Screwup – Not only did we cover the nuance of the engagement letter, we also explain why it’s important not to jump over to the investment banking side too early (so you don’t end up spending your days doing engagement letters).
8 – Yellowstone Resort Bankruptcy Items on Auction – Must See to Believe – The Blixseths have some interesting tastes.
7 – Madoff Bankruptcy Fees – Everyone likes seeing how much the lawyers are making.
6 – Gaggle of Lawyers on Intel-AMD Settlement – We should have saved the “Gaggle of Lawyers” line for a Google deal. Anyway, eight firms, thirty lawyers and counting.
5 – K&S out, Cadwalader in on “Deal from Hell” – The Deal Professor (whose excellent book would make a great gift for any deal lawyer) has been keeping track of the goings on in the Landry Restaurants going-private deal, including swapping lawyers mid-stream.
4 – ‘33 Act Drove Lawyer to Thoughts of Suicide (75 Years Ago) – An amazing letter from an overwhelmed lawyer to his quasi-famous wife.
3 – The Case for Bonuses – Revenue way down, layoffs, deferrals, cost cutting… in our book, all that adds up to a compelling reason for firms to be paying bonuses this year.
2 – NLJ Numbers Indicate Abundant Stealth Layoffs – Looking behind the numbers.
1 – Survey Identifies Most-Arrogant Firms – Some firms are justified, some most definitely are not.
