With a new National Basketball Association season set to begin on October 29, The Am Law Daily decided to tally the latest batch of legal fees amassed by the NBA players’ union in connection with the ouster of former executive director G. William “Billy” Hunter.
The National Basketball Players Association fired Hunter, a former federal prosecutor, in February after an internal investigation led by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison raised concerns about his stewardship of the union during his 17-year stint at the top.
