If information is power, then Google is master of the universe.
Any attorney who has a website, blog or is trying in other ways to promote themselves online knows this all too well. We never go very long without thinking of the search engine giant, we watch for subtle changes in its mood, and we make minute, arcane changes to our sites and entries in (mostly) vain attempts to please it.

Thelen's spectacular implosion was one of the first in a series of law firm dissolutions that, unfortunately, continues to this day. Three associates and a staff member who lost their jobs in the run-up to the firm's demise filed a suit days before the firm's collapse alleging violations of federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) and California's equivalent statute. The plaintiffs in the suit have just been granted class certification, and plan to continue their action on behalf of all similarly situated ex-Thelen employees.
