If it comes out that someone remembers Kalinda sniffing the trunk eight hours before a non-anonymous person called it in, things get worse.

Okay, so then there's a second question:  when Bishop finds out about the body in the trunk, he directs his legal team to 1) notify the police about the body and 2) do so anonymously, as we later find out from Lana.

Lana has been in the L&G offices, but Nick has been there more often.  So when Nick brandishes a picture of Kalinda and Eli talking in the office, and claims that Lana took it … well, my assumption is that he's lying about what he found at Lana's apartment.

Interesting, @avclub-88f5dbf42bc5a7baa843ca898dc0f012:disqus — if I understand the article (a big if) it seems as if an agreement is required (but smart litigators would be likely to include one), but the fee structure isn't fully standard:

Okay @avclub-88f5dbf42bc5a7baa843ca898dc0f012:disqus, we're not going to resolve the main question of what, if anything, could a law firm recover in a situation where their clients drop a case and go to work for the defendants without hearing from someone who has experience or can cite applicable case law.  But 2…

Exactly — or offer them $850,000:  you save $150k, and they get $150k more.  Everyone except for the plaintiff's attorneys benefits if it's really the case that the plaintiffs don't have to pay the contingency percentage to their lawyers because it's a "salary from their new job" and not a settlement.
