...that case, but in 1997 Boies left Cravath after the firm refused to let him represent the New York Yankees in its antitrust suit against Major League Baseball. Cravath's longtime client Time Warner owns the Atlanta Braves, a defendant in the suit. Boies started his own firm, where three of his children are now among its 60 attorneys. He has burnished his reputation lately by breaking up an international vitamin cartel, being called in by a federal judge to handle a class action against Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses, and representing Napster in its fight against...

"There's an insensitivity on the part of Woods and the Williams sisters and Rodriguez in the way they're floating these large amounts of money, a 'Let them eat cake' aspect to a family [with an] income of $30,000. This is, in essence, rubbing it in the face." Echoes David Falk, who represents Michael Jordan: "The public has no taste for listening to people complain publicly about their worth, and frankly neither do I. I applaud...
