Thanks for clarifying. I don't know anyone who uses Greenberg in the SF area, and I'm shocked that they would be pricier than Cravath. I can believe that Latham NY might be less than Wilson, just because Latham is more commoditized than Wilson in terms of branding.

There may also be swings in "rack rate" because (1) the partner you are talking to at one firm is hungry and therefore will discount; or (2) some firms discount up front but then hold fast, whereas other firms are more receptive to discounting the bill at the end of the day.

Discounts are a huge part of it. That said, I typically try to box legal bills in advance for everything except litigation. For the avoidance of doubt, I give both coasts the same budget. Guess which side's lawyers love running right through it (or approaching it to within 5¢).
