内容简介
The legal colossus Finley, Kumbte was to
the pratice of law during the 1980s what
Drexel Burnham was to corporate finance
and Ronald Reagan was to political life. It
helped transform the way the world works.
In this lively and remarkably candid book,
Steven Kumble, the firm s founder and
architect of its astonishing success, breaks
his silence and tells the inside story of how
the second largest law firm in the world
floundered, broke apart and sank in a sea Of
acrimony, greed, betrayal and humiliation..
By the late 1980s, Finley, Kumble was one
of the most influential law firms in America.
It was also the most feared and hated. It was
home to some of the most highly paid, pro-
filed and powerful legal egos in the country.
It counted among its partners: Robert Wagner,
former mayor of New York City, Hugh Carey,
former Governor of New York State. and for-
mer senators Paul Laxalt (Nevada). Russell
Long (Louisiana) and Joe Tydings (Mary-
land). In less than twenty years it had grown
from an unknown firm of seven lawyers to a
powerhouse with 240 partners. 450 associ-
ates. 2.000 employees in offices in sixteen
cities generating more than $200 million in
annual revenues.
