  • Big Law Associates Waiting on a Milbank Bonus Match
    2024/11/12
    Associates at Big Law firms are accustomed to a tradition: Whenever one law firm raises associate salaries or doles out a bonus, other firms scramble to match. But this year, something strange happened: A Wall Street law firm, Milbank LLP, in August gave out a special bonus, and none of its law firm competitors followed suit. Bloomberg Law’s Roy Strom spoke with his colleague Meghan Tribe about what might happen next for associates' bonuses on this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, and how law firms' revenue this year compares to 2021, the last time associates reaped a windfall from a boom in work. We also discuss whether associates across Big Law might still benefit from the special bonuses, which ranged from $6,000 to $25,000. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

  • How Antitrust Law Is Confronting the Housing Crisis
    2024/11/05
    A group of antitrust lawsuits blames the nationwide affordable housing crisis in part on a conspiracy among some of the country's top landlords to drive up rent using artificial intelligence tools. The scheme allegedly works through property management software that crunches data provided by its customers—the landlords—to maximize rent. Another group of lawsuits also targeted the top hotel-casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, saying they operated a parallel cartel using similar software. Two federal judges recently threw out the casino cases, rejecting the idea that relying on the same software is the type of collusion covered by antitrust law. The rulings cast doubt on the broader legal effort to rein in AI pricing algorithms. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, reporters Katie Arcieri and Justin Wise discuss the antitrust cases confronting the residential housing sector and a related push by the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission.

  • Tired of Partisan Noise? How NJ's High Court Finds Consensus
    2024/10/31
    At the New Jersey state supreme court, all of the justices seem to get along–even though they maintain a 4-3 partisan split in their ranks. The unique system, based on an unwritten rule that the governor will select justices and maintain a 4-3 balance politically, leads to an extraordinary amount of agreement among the justices. And attorneys like it, too. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, senior correspondent Alex Ebert talks about how the New Jersey Supreme Court maintains its system when so many state supreme courts have become partisan battlegrounds, and how attorneys prepare to argue in this unusual environment.
