  • September- October 2018
    Lateral Partner Moves in London September- October 2018 REPRESENTATION – SEARCH – TEAM MOVES www.edwardsgibson.com 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. After a relatively subdued start to 2018, where at the half year point partner hires were down by nearly a quarter on 2017, there were 90 partner hires in this edition – 17% up on the same period last year and 18% up on the statistical average over the preceding 5 year period. The overall number of lateral hires was particularly high considering there were no large team moves consisting of three or more partners. A recurring theme of the past two years has been the sheer volume of partner hires in Corporate Crime/ Investigations and this round-up is no exception. Five firms, Addleshaw Goddard, BLM, DWF Kingsley Napley and RPC, have all announced lateral hires in this space, in two instances at the expense of the SFO. Also of note is the disproportionately high number of corporate tax moves – fully 7% of all hires recorded in this edition were in tax with partners joining DLA Piper, Greenberg Traurig, Katten Muchin Rosenman, Mayer Brown, Osborne Clarke and Wiggin. By far the most acquisitive firm over the past two months was White & Case which snapped up a half dozen new partners across a diverse range of practice areas from disputes to structured products.

  • Career Options with Your LLM
    Career Options with your LLM Introduction Every student will have individual reasons for undertaking the LLM qualification. These may include enhancing or broadening career opportunities or adding value and depth to their CV. This leaflet aims to outline the main job opportunities open to LLM students, provide information on how to research opportunities and signpost further support. What skills does an LLM develop? As well as intellectual skills and professional expertise in a specialist area of law (e.g. Maritime, International Commercial Law) the LLM course also enables you to develop a range of transferable skills which are useful in whatever career path you choose to pursue. These include legal research and writing, analysis, critical evaluation and logical thinking as well as written and verbal communication. What types of careers can LLM graduates consider? UK Legal Market As every student has a different background and experience there is no single route to qualifying or working in the UK legal market. You will have to research the routes available and determine which of these is relevant and appropriate for you. Solicitor Qualifying as a solicitor currently requires completing a Legal Practice Course (LPC) followed by a two-year Training Contract. Depending on your previous experience and qualifications, you may have to complete a conversion course known as a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) before undertaking the LPC. However, you should note that the GDL and LPC will be replaced by a super-exam, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), due to be introduced in 2020. The SQE will introduce a more flexible approach to work-based experience and will no longer require students to sign up for the GDL or LPC.

  • The Charter – a Short History
    The Charter – a short history The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines: The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals; We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning; We thrive on that hard work and pressure; In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary; When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier. They also recognised that the pressure and stress come from multiple sources, often because of unspoken expectations of what the other requires or demands. Too often lawyers will respond to requests for work from a client with an assumption that the client requires the work as quickly as possible, whatever the demands that may make on the individuals involved, and whatever the impact upon their wellbeing, their families and much else besides. The bigger and more important the client, the greater the risk of that happening. The development of IT has contributed to this. As our connectivity has increased, there has been an inexorable drift towards an assumption that simply because we can be contactable and on demand and working 24/7, wherever we may be, that we should be. No-one stopped to think about this, to challenge it, to ask if it was what we wanted, or what we should do, or needed to do or if it was a good idea, we just went with the drift, perhaps fearful of speaking out, perhaps fearful that if we took a stand, the client would find another law firm down the road who was prepared to do whatever was required.
