From that coin toss, the law firm has grown into one of the largest in the US. With more than 1,300 lawyers, the firm ranks high in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, technology law, and litigation. Latham was a key player in the financing for the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and Gemstar's acquisition of TV Guide. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the firm has 10 other US offices and seven international locations. Latham counts Amgen, AOL Time Warner, Lucent, and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.  COMPETITION Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (dossier) O'Melveny & Myers (dossier) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (dossier)		FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Fiscal Year-End: December 2000 Sales (mil.): 642.50 1-Yr.
