Dollars and Sense: Not Everybody is Happy by Labor Peace in Professional Sports

Most sports fans are pleased by the absence of strikes and lockouts in 2008. However, along with this newfound labor peace comes a price. According to the blog Above the Law, the law firm Proskauer Rose, which has long served as outside counsel to the NFL, NBA and NHL, recently laid off 35 attorneys. Apparently, there is just not enough work (sports and otherwise) to go around.

For those of you unfamiliar Proskauer Rose, this is the firm where NBA Commissioner David Stern and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman both started there careers. I regularly refer to Proskauer as one of the "big four" law firms in the world of sports representation.
