In all there was a total of 91 lateral partner moves announced in this round up – 22% down on the same period last year when the figures were artificially buoyed by the collapse of King & Wood Mallesons’ European verein. Although fewer than the preceding two years, the number of moves in this edition corresponds almost exactly to the statistical average over the same period for the past 5 years (see graph below).

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • Lateral Partner Moves in London January
    Lateral Partner Moves in London January - February 2021 Welcome to the latest round-up of lateral partner moves in the legal market from Edwards Gibson; where we look back at announced partner-level recruitment activity in London over the past two months and give you a ‘who’s moved where’ update. There were 90 partner hires in the first two months of 2021 which, although 6% down on the 5-year statistical average for the same period, is actually 13% up on last year (80). Indeed, as we have previously discussed, Big Law has, with some exceptions, so far managed to remain remarkably unscathed by the largest economic contraction the UK has ever seen. No fewer than six firms took on three or more partners, with Hogan Lovells nabbing five: a four- partner litigation team (two laterals and two promotion hires) from Debevoise & Plimpton and the co-head of corporate - Patrick Sarch - from White & Case. Top partner recruiters in London January – February 2021 Hogan Lovells 5 Addleshaw Goddard 3 Bracewell 3 Harcus Parker 3 Paul Hastings 3 Squire Patton Boggs 3 Given the inverse relationship between economic activity and commercial disputes, it is unsurprising that nearly a third of all hires were disputes lawyers and 12% were restructuring/ insolvency specialists, with three firms - Armstrong Teasdale, McDermott Will & Emery and Simpson Thacher – launching completely new practices in that space. Firms hiring laterals whose practices were primarily restructuring or insolvency related Armstrong Teasdale (formerly Kerman & Co) Dechert Edwin Coe Faegre Drinker Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson Goodwin Procter Latham & Watkins McDermott Will & Emery (hired a two-partner team) Simpson Thacher & Bartlett (hired two partners from separate firms) Although demand for restructuring and insolvency specialists clearly remains very high, many lawyers report that work levels remain eerily quiet due to governments across Europe pumping vast amounts of cash into the system to counter a COVID- lockdown induced economic collapse.

  • Linklaters to Expand Remote Working As Pandemic Changes Legal Culture | Financial Times
    25/08/2020 Linklaters to expand remote working as pandemic changes legal culture | Financial Times Legal services Linklaters to expand remote working as pandemic changes legal culture Law firm will allow more working from home after Covid-19 crisis showed it is possible Employees will be able to work outside their offices between 20 per cent and 50 per cent of the time, said Linklaters © Bloomberg Kate Beioley 2 HOURS AGO International law firm Linklaters will allow its more than 5,000 staff to work half the time remotely, the strongest sign yet that changes ushered in by the pandemic are beginning to take root in a legal industry that has long valued tight-knit office culture. Employees will be able to work outside their offices between 20 per cent and 50 per cent of the time, the firm said on Tuesday. The decision by Linklaters, where partners were paid an average of £1.7m last year, follows the embrace of a permanent shift towards more remote working by competitors including DLA Piper and US firm Baker McKenzie. Until the government lockdown forced people from their offices, corporate law firms had largely resisted remote working because of the nature of an occupation that can require close collaboration, handling sensitive documents and tight deadlines. But Andrea Arosio, a partner at Linklaters and member of its people committee, said: “Our recent experience has demonstrated that, whilst we are a people-focused business and collaboration is key, remote working has worked remarkably well and we can deliver high-quality work whilst working remotely.” https://www.ft.com/content/eb4da0b1-d36b-4ddd-b520-0bd62deab157#myft:my-news:page 1/3 25/08/2020 Linklaters to expand remote working as pandemic changes legal culture | Financial Times Last year, Linklaters introduced more flexible start and finish times at its UK offices as part of a package of new working practices.
