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).

  • Law Firm Mergers: a Tasty Concoction?
    Law firm mergers: a tasty concoction? Introduction The much heralded impact of deregulation has been making waves in the legal industry for a couple of years now, with the introduction of Alternative Business Structures creating new competition in the industry and causing existing law firms to take a step back and examine their next strategic move in light of these market changes. Amidst all this change, few law firms have considered how their brands are affected and can be utilised to help them develop a competitive edge in this new legal landscape. Intangible Business brought this issue to the industry’s attention back in September 2012, when it issued a report comparing law firm brands to chocolate bar brands. The light-hearted campaign encouraged law firms and legal commentators to suggest which law firm brands best resembled which chocolate brands. It highlighted the important message that in this brave new world, law firms needed to wise up to the value and potential their brands could hold if they were to compete with heavyweight consumer brands entering the market for the first time. Since then, a flurry of law firm mergers have been announced as the legal market consolidates in response to the changes. The process of bringing two or more firms’ brands together to create one enticing brand proposition is similar to how mixologists capitalise on individual spirits and mixers to create cocktails. Intangible Business has used this concept to invite the legal industry to compare the big law firm mergers to cocktails to highlight the brand management issues at stake when law firms enter into merger negotiations.
