He stated that the fees were in line with similar cases, including the backdating trial of Brocade Communications CEO Gregory Reyes. The bulk of other timekeepers were needed for review of 1.2 million documents in the case." Paul Yetter, the Houston lawyer representing WilmerHale in the fee dispute, said by e-mail Monday that "over 80 percent of the defense work was done by two lead WilmerHale partners and a handful of associates. The software company described WilmerHale as "unrepentant in its greed."
Martin Rose, the Dallas lawyer representing McAfee in the fee dispute, alleges in his latest complaint that WilmerHale, which brought in East Coast lawyers to represent Goyal in a San Francisco trial, charged almost $200,000 in expenses for luxury hotel rooms, limousines and charges for room service and bar tabs. "Defendant’s bills reflect at least 16 partners, 34 associate attorneys, 10 legal assistants and 49 staff personnel - how else could they amass this enormous trove of cash?" the complaint read. " intentionally overworked and churned the representation of Goyal shamelessly employing over 100 WilmerHale timekeepers in the feeding frenzy," McAfee alleged in a complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas earlier this year.
The Recorder digs up this lawsuit by McAfee against WilmerHale for "fraud, theft, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty" for billing $12 million to defend their Chief Financial Officer in his accounting fraud case (he was convicted).
