Crowell & Moring expands arbitration practice, IP group gets ranked
Crowell & Moring hired Arif Hyder Ali as partner to the firm's International Arbitration Practice. Ali will co-chair the group with partner Stuart H. Newberger. Ali has nearly two decades of experience in international dispute resolution and investment risk management counseling. His network spreads around more than 30 countries and five continents. Apart from Ali, Baiju Simal Vasani joins the firm as associate. They will be based in Crowell & Moring's Washington, DC, office.

Welcoming the duo, Crowell & Moring chairman Kent A. Gardiner said that their joining the firm enhances the firm's established credentials as a leader in resolving global complex international disputes. The duo earlier served Fulbright & Jaworski LLP. The firm aims to leverage the expertise of these two world class practitioners. This, the firm hopes, will help its team to serve global corporations and government clients in some of their most complex disputes.

Meanwhile, the firm's Intellectual Property Group has been ranked by The Legal 500 U.S.-Volume II (Intellectual Property, Media, Technology, and Telecoms). The group bagged the ranks in the following IP categories: non-contentious/transactional - Patent Re-examination and IP; non-contentious/transactional - Patent Prosecution: International Clients. The firm's two outstanding IP lawyers Jeffrey D. Sanok and Kimberley Chen Nobles were recognized by the Legal 500 U.S. for their outstanding practices. Earlier, the firm's Corporate Group, too, was ranked for its mergers and acquisitions work in the 2007 Legal 500 U.S.-Volume I (Corporate and Finance) book.

The Legal 500 has been providing independent commentary on law firms for more than two decades in more than 90 different countries/jurisdictions. The Legal 500 U.S. Intellectual Property, Media, Technology, and Telecoms book is the second of four guides covering the U.S. legal market.

The firm's IP group has considerably grown over the last few years. It includes Janet M. MacLeod, Andrew M. Riddles, and Kathryn L. Clune among others. In addition to that, the firm has 56 lawyers in Washington, DC, California, New York, and Brussels offices.

Wife kills, chops, and fries her husband
Rosanita Nery dos Santos, 52, killed her husband, chopped his body to small pieces, and fried it. Sounds gross, huh? It actually happened about two years back in Salvador, near Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Brazilian housewife "drugged her husband in his sleep and stabbed him to death." She was convicted and received 19-year sentence for committing this horrendous crime. What has Santos to say about this? Santos denies killing her husband, claiming that some "masked assailants" broke into her house and killed her husband. They also forced her to fry his chopped pieces to "prevent the stench of a decomposing body from alerting neighbors." Police suspect possibility of black magic or husband's life insurance money worth $34,000 as the motive behind the killing, reports AP. Let's look at the brighter side: at least she didn't eat him...
