Leading attorneys in the U.S. are asking as much as $1,250 an hour,
significantly more than in previous years, taking advantage of big clients'
willingness to pay top dollar for certain types of services.
A few pioneers had raised their fees to more than $1,000 an hour about five
years ago, at the peak of the economic boom. But after the recession hit,
many of the rest of the industry's elite were hesitant, until recently, to
charge more than $990 an hour
While companies have cut legal budgets and continue to push for hourly
discounts and capped-fee deals with their law firms, many of them have shown
they won't skimp on some kinds of legal advice, especially in high-stakes
situations or when they think a star attorney might resolve their problem
faster and more efficiently than a lesser-known talent.

London-based lawyers have tended to charge higher per-hour rates than their
U.S.-based counterparts. However, London attorneys typically don't bill as
many hours on a case as do U.S. attorneys, some lawyers say.
"A thousand dollars an hour was a choke point for some clients," said Peter
Zeughauser, a consultant to law firms. "I don't think there will be another
significant psychological barrier until rates reach $2,000 an hour, which
they will do, probably in five to seven years."

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
