Hi Denece!
You asked what the average hourly rate was for a Beverly Hill
Corporate/Entertainment lawyer in 1980.
Unfortunately I was not able to locate that information.
The following information is not specific for a Beverly Hills
Corporate/Entertainment lawyer in 1980, but I will post it below so
that you can judge for yourself.
In 1989, the average lawyer charged $118 per hour. (U.S.)

$75.00 per hour in 1980
?The actual fee paid or to be paid by Shoney's to its attorneys for
the defense of this litigation totals $18,702.99. This fee was
computed on an hourly basis by multiplying the hours worked by an
hourly charge as detailed in the affidavits submitted by counsel. The
court finds that the hourly rates of Mr. Powell and Mr. Page of $90.00
and $70.00 [FN12] respectively are commensurate with fees customarily
charged by lawyers of similar experience and reputation in the
Birmingham legal community. Mr. King charged Shoney's at the rate of
$75.00 per hour in 1980, and $80.00 per hour in 1981. The court is of
the opinion that these hourly charges appropriately reflect the
substantial reputation, experience and ability of the lawyers, as well
as their ongoing relationship with their client.?

$80.00 an hour
?It is true that Pearson's fees are high ($80.00 an hour), but that
fact, standing alone, does not make them unreasonable.?

I?m sorry that I couldn?t find the exact information you require. I
would suggest that you expire this question and post a new question so
that all Google Answers Researchers can try to find the exact answer
you need.
