Neither, the ones that land the big class action lawsuits make the big dollars

The question is about BR, are their any attorneys in BR that routinely manage large class actions like toxic torts?

During the salad days of toxic/mass tort claims, there is almost zero question the top case managers had the highest "lawyer doing lawyer things" comp in the US. You could make millions upon millions just by acquiring the cases. That is what funding all those mesothelioma etc ads. Guys with small to mid-sized PI firms were suddenly buying jets.
