Conflicts were one the biggest drivers behind the emergence Tof the boutiques – Magic Circle firms were not best placed to take on the big-ticket cases against the financial institutions. Similarly, many top-flight lawyers felt ready for a change having identified the gap in the market for quality representation in matters against institutions against which traditionally many of the big City firms had been unwilling to act. Cooke, Young & Keidan LLP (CYK) was established in 2009 in the wake of the financial crisis as a boutique City firm specialising in complex, high-value disputes, usually with an international aspect.

  • 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.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Special Report reveals how the people who run law firms think The People Who Run Law Firms: Lessons Learned from Law Firm Leaders, edited by Bill Knight OBE, shares insider secrets from managing and senior partners of international law firms Bill Knight OBE worked for Simmons & Simmons for 35 years – from articled clerk to senior partner. He is the author of The Acquisition of Private Companies and Business Assets, which ran to seven editions. Since leaving the firm in 2001, Bill has been president of the City of London Law Society, deputy chairman of Lloyd’s of London, chair of the Financial Reporting Review Panel and a gambling commissioner.

Bill Knight has produced an insightful and engaging snapshot of people who manage people. This book is a wise investment both for leaders and the people they lead.” - Guy Beringer CBE, Chair of the Legal Education Foundation and former Senior Partner, Allen & Overy We do not hear enough about running law firms from those who do the job. Here they talk frankly, free from jargon and management-speak, about their careers and what their role is really like. The interviews will cover everything from their first jobs to becoming a partner and reveal their key pieces of advice for all current and aspiring senior partners. Most lawyers have to manage others at some point in their careers and anyone with management responsibilities in a law firm of any size will gain something from the hard-won experience of these leaders.

  • Vantage: New Software Set to Revolutionise Graduate Law Recruitment
    VANTAGE: NEW SOFTWARE SET TO REVOLUTIONISE GRADUATE LAW RECRUITMENT 12 June 2019 | UK Firm news Rare, the graduate recruitment specialist, has today launched Vantage, a new online portal supported by leading UK law firms and designed to finally break the artificial barriers putting legal careers beyond the reach of many talented candidates. • Diversity specialist Rare launches online attraction tool for legal recruiters to tap talent • Vantage aims to tackle the problem of “high-low schools”, where pupils are achieving top grades yet do not apply for the best graduate jobs • Leading City firms amongst founder members pledging to double applications to law firms from low-participation schools • 2,000+ candidates already signed up, thousands more expected this autumn One in every three university students coming from an elite school and achieving an A grade at English A-Level eventually applies to become a solicitor. But many schools fail to supply any applicants at all, despite producing students with the requisite exam grades. Research by Rare has identified 100 “high-low schools” in the UK where only one in forty students achieving an A grade at English A-level goes on to apply to the legal profession – twelve times less than the rate from elite schools. But Vantage aims to change that, giving capable students a better chance of accessing great careers and helping employers open the doors of the legal industry to a wider range of talent. Candidates interested in a career in law can input their academic and personal information onto Vantage, allowing them to be approached by prospective law firm employers.

Litigation funding has secured a place in the US disputes landscape, yet questions remain about the benefits – and future – of third-party involvement, writes Laura Pollard espite initial reluctance from corporates and law firms, litigation funding has become a more accepted feature of the US commercial litigation Dlandscape, although it has only been largely embraced by plaintiffs thus far. That, however, may be about to change as funders are expected to step up their pursuit of defendants. Litigation funders provide all or some of the financing to cover the costs of disputes. In return, they receive a slice of the winnings if the case is successful; this may be a percentage of the damages or a multiple of the amount of funding provided. If the case is not successful, the funder may simply lose its investment.
