As a domainer I concur with Zak (he is an attorney) that hiring a well known lawyer who specializes in domain names often offers excellent value when compared to a general corporate lawyer. This was very much the case for me when I made the mistake of hiring an IP firm to handle one domain related matter. Even though their rates were lower I am sure a specialist in domain names would have done the job for much less and at a higher level in terms of quality. I can also attest that some of the C&Ds I have received and UDRP (never lost) have really made me feel bad for the complainant - their lawyers can do horrible work when not frequently involved in domain matters.
My two Canadian cents
