The American Lawyer unveiled its 2007 list of the hundred biggest law firms ranked by revenue. The Wall Street Journal's law blog points out that K Street telecommunications and high-tech powerhouse Wiley Rein made the AmLaw 100 thanks to its "BlackBerry Bonus."
The firm broke the record for the highest profits per partner ever recorded by the magazine -- a whopping $4.4 million. Attorneys there represented patent-holding business NTP in its lengthy court battle with BlackBerry handheld manufacturer RIM, and earned more than $200 million in fees from the case. So, take an extra long lunch at McCormick and Schmick's today, boys -- you deserve it.
