Being a lawyer and running and owning a small company, I have on many occasions represented my company both in court and in negotiations which have a direct effect on value. In fact, this law firm has added incentive to win the case if they also own shares in the company. THe conflict of interest would arise if they represented the other side in a dispute.

Anyone with a pseudo-legal background care to make a completely non-binding (if not outright anonymous! LOL) comment on how usual or common it is for a lawyer or firm to own shares in a company that it's representing? (Particularly when the case in question directly affects the value of the stock.) The vested interest is obvious, and I'm in no way suggesting that it's a conflict of interest. I'm just curious about any non-evident implications. Anyone?
