The Top 100 International Wealth Advisers List 2005 'Most Highly Respected' - Selected by Industry Peers Citywealth Your weekly wealth newsletter Monday 7th November Edition 4 Citywealth Editor: Ms Jones Email:[email protected] Citywealth hot line: + 44 (0) 20 7613 0775 The Gold Series, sponsored by The Top 100 international wealth advisers list 2005 'Most highly respected' - selected by industry peers Compiled by email and telephone research, 2,000 UK and international wealth advisers were polled and asked to recommend fellow peers as their 'most highly respected wealth advisers'. Wealth advisers were asked to put forward peers from any country and the selection could include any area of wealth - accountancy, trust, private banking, barristers or law. The selection includes those who were most commonly put forward by advisers. Many of the recommendations received came from those who have worked in the wealth industry for more than two decades. Some featuring on Citywealth's inaugural list are 'ones to watch'; some are 'magic circle'. Many notable names are missing, due to the restrictive name of the title - Top 100. To address this Citywealth has plans to launch a more comprehensive wealth power list in 2006 in our new gold series of definitive guides to wealth advisers.

    PUMP COURT TAX CHAMBERS Unparalleled Expertise “Pump Court Tax Chambers is a set right at the top of its game, practising varied and challenging work, promising phenomenal compensation, and yet remaining something of a secret among students.” CHAMBERS & PARTNERS STUDENT GUIDE PUMP COURT TAX CHAMBERS Unparalleled Expertise Chambers offers up to two twelve month pupillages with awards of up to £50,000. Up to £12,000 may be drawn down in the BPTC year. Don’t switch off! There’s no doubt that graduates interested in a career at the Bar will have certain pre-conceptions about the Tax Bar. Most of what you may have read or heard is probably far from accurate. There’s no number crunching. But it’s a cerebral field, offering the right candidate a stimulating career in a fast-moving world, much of which involves interaction with Magic Circle law firms, the Big 4 accountants and high profile clients. We’re the leaders in our field. We’re the largest tax set by a considerable margin and we have been voted “Tax Set of the Year” by Chambers and Partners for the past five years. Pupillage and what to expect During the first six months you’ll have at least three pupil supervisors and will see most aspects of Chambers’ work. You should expect to be sitting in on conferences with clients, attending the tax tribunals and appellate courts, and drafting pleadings and written advice. During your second six months you’ll be working with a broader selection of Members of Chambers, including the Silks.

  • Sidley Adds Prominent Restructuring Partner Tom Califano in New
    Biglaw Firms Better Match The New Salary Scale ASAP If They Want To Retain Their Talent “Firms have been busier than ever and this is one way to demonstrate an appreciation for their associates, but also to show more broadly the long-term financial strength of the firm. Compensation increases are a permanent change and I expect that the firms that see long-term financial growth will increase their salaries as well,” reports Staci Zaretsky in Above The Law “On the other side of the coin, the competition for talent is fierce. The firms that are aggressively hiring will likely match so that they will be able to retain and attract talent. Associates take into consideration whether a firm matches salaries and/or bonuses when they are deciding to stay or leave their firm, as it speaks volumes of their long-term financial outlook and how these firms value their associates given the number of hours they have been putting in.” Read the article. Lawyers Get $164K Bonuses to Keep Working 100 Hours a Week “In September 2020, Cooley LLP, a Palo Alto-based law firm, announced it was handing out $2,500 to $7,500 in one-time payments to associates. The bonuses came as the firm — along with many others in the legal industry — realized it was both flush with cash and facing worker burnout during the pandemic,” report Meghan Tribe in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice. “While most attorneys at larger firms expect to receive one annual bonus, Cooley’s move was quickly matched by others, including Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.

  • 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.

    THE LEADER IN LEGAL TECHNOLOGY NEWS Issue 146 Big names move into records management Hummingbird has acquired LegalKEY Technologies, a New York-based software company best known for its electronic records management and conflicts of interest checking systems. With effective records management, including corporate document retention policies, now high on the agenda for law firms in the wake of Enron and similar scandals, there has been a suggestion that in an ideal world, the best possible approach is a combination of a conventional document management system linked to a records management system that, like LegalKEY, could handle both paper and electronic files.
