Breaking News: Lawyers to benefit from misdeeds of corporate executives, public officials


Here is a small but rather interesting article concerning white collar crime from Crain's Detroit Business:
"Criminal defense lawyers, even those representing white-collar defendants, once were mostly trial specialists and usually practiced solo or in small firms.

Their reputations earned them major clients and cases, often referred from large firms that wanted to keep the stigma of criminal litigation away from their business clients.
But times have changed.

Stakes are higher as federal investigations increasingly target companies and top corporate officials. And such cases generate major revenue."
