Morning Docket: 04.25.19

* The Am Law 100 left $4.4 billion on the table last year. Or... maybe. Biglaw offered $4.4 billion in discounts which could mean the industry undercut each other for an overall loss of value. Or it could mean the market gravitated toward what legal services are really worth. An interesting walk through the finances of Biglaw work. [American Lawyer] * Some Selendy & Gay partners are headed to arbitration Quinn Emanuel over a provision in their agreement that Quinn's exercising seeking a portion of their profits on ported business. So much for my wishful thinking that the two firms would come to let bygones be bygones. [New York Law Journal] * Litigation funders are hiring lobbyists to push back against a new push by Senate Republicans to require more transparency -- something those same Senate Republicans spend a lot of time fighting against when it comes to... lobbyists. The circle of life. [American Lawyer] * March Madness continues in court with testimony about Arizona paying players. It's at this point that we recall that Arizona wasn't even the best college basketball team in Arizona this season. [Law360] * EY continues its overseas legal build-out. [Law.com] * Twitter's chief legal officer made $11 million last year to tell everyone that they can't do anything about Nazis. [Corporate Counsel] * Supreme Court crushes class victims again!
