Holy smoke: Brobeck shuts down

Holy smoke: Brobeck shuts down


Good God, the 1,100-lawyer, 77-year-old firm of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, the scion of Bay Area law firms, has decided to shut down. This is a firm that represented a huge proportion of high tech companies in one way or another. I wonder if there is some hidden liability concern here. After all, times are slow for corporate work, but not that slow.


Said one of the lawyers: "I guess I'll go to Thailand and live on $200 a month" Suffice to say: That's not the last thing I'd want to hear from my lawyer.
