Google taps legal muscle for Microsoft case
C|Net | at | by Mike
In its fight with Microsoft over an executive's defection, Google has enlisted attorneys from a small but high-powered law firm.
Kekar Van Nest, a 50-lawyer firm based in San Francisco, represented Grokster it its legal battle over file sharing, and also represented Wall Street banker Frank Quattrone and former Enron leader Andrew Fastow in criminal cases. The firm specializes in "complex civil and criminal litigation," according to its Web site, and was judged "litigation boutique of the year" earlier this year by The American Lawyer trade publication.
