Texas Judge Reviews $14.3 Million Fee Request in Computer Sciences Trade Secrets Case

In a recent legal development, Baker Botts LLP and Sumner Schick LLP have come under scrutiny for their request of $14.3 million in attorney fees along with an additional $1.8 million in costs. These fees stem from their representation of Computer Sciences Corp. in a trade secrets case where a $168.4 million verdict was delivered against Tata Consultancy Services. However, the consulting firm has contended that such a substantial fee request is “facially unreasonable.” The matter is currently under judicial review by a Texas federal judge.
