re: #225 Nojay UK

Don’t forget the granddaddy of the tech anti-trust lawsuits, IBM vs. The Entire Universe. It is said that greenhorn lawyers fresh from law school joined law firms, started working on the IBM defence team and later retired having worked on no other case in their entire careers.

If the parties have deep enough pockets (and resentments/interests), a case could easily last over a decade. One as complicated as an anti-trust case against one of the largest corporations in the world could easily span two decades, but an entire career seems less likely (though I suppose plausible if you include post judgment/settlement oversight issues).
