Several years ago I attended the Phoenix Forums where this topic was discussed. Unfortunately, I didn't keep any notes.

Taking on major infringers requires major money. I dont know any experienced copyright litigators that will touch a copyright infringement case on a contingency. Perhaps a newb attorney looking for experience. But anyone that has the staff and skill set to take on a major infringer is going to cost $$$.
I can tell you that your client will be looking at least $100,000 in fees and more than likely in excess of $250,000. Im General Counsel for one of my adult clients and riding shotgun on defending a copyright case in FL and we are 3 years in, the case is just getting started and my client is in for $125,000+ for myself and local counsel.
DM me if you want to discuss further once you talk to your client. I might be able to refer someone depending on the state you are looking for counsel in.
