  • Herbert Smith Freehills Becomes Founding Signatory to the Charter for Black Talent in Finance and the Professions
    HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS BECOMES FOUNDING SIGNATORY TO THE CHARTER FOR BLACK TALENT IN FINANCE AND THE PROFESSIONS 30 October 2020 | UK Firm news Herbert Smith Freehills has been announced as one of the founding signatories to a first-of-its-kind initiative, developed to increase representation of Black people in senior positions across legal and other professional services companies in the UK. Created by barrister Harry Matovu QC, the Charter commits firms to creating and maintaining an environment where Black talent can be identified, developed and promoted for the benefit of individuals and their organisation. It also commits signatories to support the recruitment of Black employees and their development and progression into senior roles by focusing on the entire executive pipeline. Commenting on Herbert Smith Freehills’ commitment to the Charter, Alison Brown, executive partner, says: "This has been an extraordinary year and one which it has become abundantly clear that action needs to be taken to redress the imbalances that have been allowed to persist in so many business environments. No marketplace can succeed in the long term if it fails to reflect the communities which it serves and the legal sector is no exception. Earlier this year we outlined ten actions for change to highlight our commitment to create a safe, supportive and respectful environment across the firm and the profession. We are proud to be one of the founding signatories of this Charter and are determined to ensure opportunities to attract and retain talent from Black and minority ethnic groups build an environment where everyone feels valued." The Charter outlines eight pledges that signatories to it will adhere to.

  • Why Firms Still Need to Be Careful in Good Markets 21St September 2015 Authors: Tony Williams; Steve Cottee
    Beware of the upturn – why firms still need to be careful in good markets 21st September 2015 Authors: Tony Williams; Steve Cottee As the results for 2014-15 show a sustained if gradual improvement in law firms financial performance, together with the news of Gateley's successful IPO it is tempting to assume that the worst is now behind law firms after a gruelling period following the financial crisis. However, law firms need to be wary of the upturn and ensure that their firm is well placed to weather the storms that will buffet the legal market for many years to come. In our view there are six factors that law firms need to pay particular attention to if they are going to survive and thrive over the next few years. Cash Firms have increased their long term debt (over one year) from £5.75bn in 2010 to £7.35bn in 2014. Conversely short term debt, mostly overdrafts, has reduced from £2.4bn in 2011 to £1.8bn in 2014. Firms have however received a very significant cash infusion by way of the estimated £1bn of capital injected by fixed share partners to meet the recent requirements of HMRC. Banks still see law firms as a relatively good risk but a few high profile failures may see credit committees becoming far less accommodating and the cost of facilities rise. Crucially the capital injection from fixed share partners many firms benefitted from last year will not be available this year, at a time when arguably there will be an even greater need for cash than before.
