June 2, 2013
The law firm DLA Piper has settled a fee dispute with one of its clients, resolving a case that highlighted lawyers’ e-mails that discussed overbilling the client, in one instance using the phrase “churn that bill, baby!” to describe their work.

I think the clean up is certainly part of the focus, but I also think Google’s trying to unify services and designs – as Larry Page said, “show what’s possible.” Lawyers...
