Synopsis

As America's giant law firms start to behave like Wall Street conglomerates, Big Law arrives as a page-turning, in-the-know, cautionary novel of a legal revolution gone mad. As a young partner at Dunn & Sullivan, one of New York's most prestigious law firms, Carney Blake has represented dozens of high-profile clients. But being a pawn of Big Law often means defending the corporate dirt bags of the world-the spillers, the drillers, and the killers. Morality aside, Carney is starting to make a name for himself, despite having a father who resents his success and an unpredictable big brother bent on self-destruction. So when Carney is suddenly asked by his firm's chairman to represent the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit-and not, as usual, the corporate bad guys-he warily accepts. Maybe they're turning a corner, he thinks. And even if they aren't, when else has a junior partner been assigned such a major case, with a possible billion-dollar payout? But Carney can't fool himself for very long. As he digs deeper into the case, he uncovers corruption and maliciously orchestrated schemes that go straight to the top of Dunn & Sullivan-along with the true motives behind his placement on the case. Written by former top litigator Ron Liebman, Big Law is a thrilling, fast-paced roman a clef that exposes the secrecy, deception, and machinations underlining America's most powerful mega-firms.

My starting point in reviewing Big Law has to be to confess that I have a soft spot for legal mysteries/thrillers.

This is a new author for me. The main character and first person narrator of the story is attorney Carney Blake. Blake comes from a working class dysfunctional family of Irish alcoholics. His boss at the large law firm is Carl Smith. He assigns him a class action law suit from India. He is to be the......more

Five stars for pure speed and enjoyment of reading. The story was a bit predictable, but it didn’t bother me at all. I was looking for entertaining and page turning…not life altering literary fiction. More interestingly, this may be the only book I’ve ever read in what I’d call first person omniscie......more

Goodreads review by Viva on November 21, 2016

I love this book! The best law thriller I've read in years. Looks like the author found the formula of how to write a great book because he's hit all the right spots. Synopsis: Law firm 1 tries to take down law firm 2 and our protagonist is caught in the middle. Characters: The characters make the boo......more

Goodreads review by Joanna on February 01, 2023

I would find this story and the characters to be more interesting and engaging if I read this book after it was right published. But now, these plots, which are supposed to surprise me, become kind of cliche after me watching many TV shows like Boston Legal and The Good Wife. It is such a short and......more
