Even for a busy lawyer at a big corporate law firm, billing close to 11 hours a day on a single case, five days a week for 18 months straight is no easy feat. That's the average pace Brian Glueckstein has kept up as one of the lead lawyers in the FTX bankruptcy since it began in November 2022, according to court records though April. All those hours — including 342 in December 2022 alone — have helped his law firm Sullivan & Cromwell amass close to $200 million in billings as debtor's counsel in the sprawling case so far.

The violation of a noncompete agreement has been central in Wynn Resorts’ lawsuit against Fontainebleau for poaching senior executives. Wynn claims the new resort hired nine of its executives and encouraged workers to violate their employment contracts. But in April the Federal Trade Commission changed its rules and announced that starting Sept. 4 all new noncompete agreements are banned. So, how would a ban impact executive hiring and moves on the Strip?

David Boies, one of the country’s best-known lawyers, charges more than $2,000 an hour and at age 83 can have his pick of cases. This raises a question as to why he would defend disgraced former bankruptcy judge David R. Jones, who is fighting lawsuits that allege he benefited from a personal relationship with a lawyer who worked on cases in his court.

In a flurry of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the Justices’ lack of action on one case is a major victory for the tribal gaming industry.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has affirmed a previous ruling that Red Rock Resorts violated national labor laws when it successfully tried to persuade workers not to unionize and has ordered three of the company’s Las Vegas casinos to negotiate collective bargaining agreements with employees represented by Culinary Workers Union Local 226.

In an executive order unveiled Tuesday, President Joe Biden announced that undocumented spouses of American citizens who meet certain legal criteria will be shielded from deportation as they seek legal residency.

UNLV student Alma Perez’s American Dream is to one day work as an accountant, which she is studying for. But as an undocumented immigrant who was brought to the U.S. at the age of 4, she’s not permitted to legally work, and has resorted to construction labor alongside her father, said the 20-year-old woman.

Reyna Valdivias, a recent Nevada State University (NSU) graduate said that although she has a college degree in business administration, she works alongside her father in landscaping and construction. That’s because 12 years after it was created, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program remains enmeshed in the court system and closed to new recipients, precluding many immigrants illegally brought to the U.S. as children from getting work authorizations and pursuing their preferred careers.

More than 10,500 water professionals from around the world convened today at the Anaheim Convention Center for the American Water Works Association's (AWWA) 143rd Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE24) to collaborate on creating a sustainable and resilient future for the water community.

Delaware isn’t happy that public companies are fleeing its litigation-heavy business environment to incorporate in friendlier states like Nevada. No one likes losing business, and Delaware has long been known as a jurisdiction for deal makers. But requiring a fee from businesses domesticating in other states or barring corporations’ exits—as the Delaware Supreme Court is now considering—would be a serious mistake.

On a mild Houston day in March 2021, Judge Marvin Isgur prepared to oversee the only case on his docket that morning. It was a motion to recuse his longtime colleague on the bench, David Jones, from a case involving a bankrupt engineering company.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday comes amidst criticism from Republicans for refusing to hand over audiotapes of President Joe Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur after Biden invoked executive privilege to keep them private.
