Lawyers (aka sharks) fight over Microsoft legal-fees
Seattle Times | at | by Mike
Microsoft's $441 million settlement of lawsuits in nine states alleging it overcharged purchasers of Windows has touched off a rare public fight over legal fees among plaintiffs' lawyers. Big plaintiffs' firms that settled the class-action cases, including Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach and Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, are resisting an attempt by fellow trial lawyers Michael Hausfeld and Stanley Chesley to share the legal fees.
