  • ?Mckenna Long?????Dentons??????
    ?McKenna Long?????Dentons?????? Consolidation at the top of the global legal industry is showing no signs of stopping with the confirmation that Dentons, fresh off its last big international tie-up, wants to again walk down the aisle — this time with U.S.-bound McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP. Denton's potential addition of the Atlanta-based, 575-lawyer McKenna Long would add a significant new branch to Dentons' growing international structure, which now includes about 2,500 lawyers in 50 countries. If completed, the merger would bring Dentons to a top-three spot in the industry by size, with about 3,100 lawyers. In McKenna Long, Dentons would acquire a well-regarded but somewhat undifferentiated general services firm with solid roots in government contracts, established offices in a handful of major U.S. markets, a network of Washington contacts and no significant international profile. Among its more notable offerings is the firm's intellectual property and technology practice led by D.C.- and Seoul-based partner Song Jung, which has done considerable work for Korean tech giant LG Corp., among others. The addition of McKenna Long "adds to [Dentons'] capacities in D.C. and Los Angeles and San Francisco,” said firm management consultant Eric Seeger, a principal at legal consultant firm Altman Weil Inc. "They already had Chicago, and it gives them a large Atlanta office." For the McKenna Long partners now considering the deal, joining Dentons would immediately vault them from an increasingly squeezed U.S. middle tier into a global network with a slew of multinational clients, but one that is likely still experiencing growing pains from repeated cross-border mergers, experts say.

  • 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.

  • Insurance Law Committee Response to the Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission's Consultation on the Draft Insurable Interest Bill
    Insurance Law Committee response to the Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission's consultation on the draft Insurable Interest Bill The City of London Law Society (“CLLS”) represents approximately 15,000 City lawyers through individual and corporate membership including some of the largest international law firms in the world. These law firms advise a variety of clients from multinational companies and financial institutions to Government departments, often in relation to complex, multi-jurisdictional legal issues. The CLLS responds to a variety of consultations on issues of importance to its members through its 19 specialist committees. This response in respect of the Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission's consultation on the draft Insurable Interest Bill has been prepared by the CLLS Insurance Law Committee (the "Committee"). The Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission have published a draft Insurable Interest Bill (the "Bill") and notes to accompany the draft Bill, together with a list of questions for consultees. The Committee's responses to the questions are set out below. CLAUSE 1: DEFINITIONS Q1. Do consultees agree that personal accident critical illness, disability and other insurances dependent on human life be subject to the same insurable interest rules as life insurance? The Committee has no comments on this question. Page 1 Q2. Do consultees consider that the definition of “life-related insurance” works for insurance-linked investment products, and annuities? The Committee considers that the proposed definition of the “insured” is unnecessarily restrictive and might disqualify contracts taken out by a person on behalf of another, for example where pension fund trustees contract through a common investment fund or where there is a requirement for the insurance contract to be issued to a depositary.

  • Response to Government Consultation on Moving Land Registry
    City of London Law Society Land Law Committee response to consultation on moving Land Registry operations into the private sector Introduction The City of London Law Society (“CLLS”) represents approximately 17,000 City lawyers through individual and corporate membership including some of the largest international law firms in the world. These law firms advise a variety of clients from multinational companies and financial institutions to Government departments, often in relation to complex, multi-jurisdictional legal issues. The CLLS responds to a variety of consultations on issues of importance to its members through its 19 specialist committees. This response in respect of the Department for Business Innovation and Skills Consultation on moving Land Registry operations into the private sector has been prepared by the CLLS Land Law Committee. This response is given by those members of the Land Law Committee listed at the end of this response. The following individuals/firms have asked to be excluded from this response - Daniel McKimm/Allen & Overy LLP, Jamie Chapman/Ashurst LLP, Ian Waring/Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP, Michael Edwards/Clifford Chance LLP, Bruce Dear/Eversheds LLP, Jayne Elkins/Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, Victoria Hills/Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, James Barnes/Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Martin Elliott/Linklaters LLP, Nick Jones/Simmons & Simmons LLP, John Nevin/Slaughter & May and Alison Hardy/Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP.‎ General comments For‎the‎purposes‎of‎our‎comments,‎we‎assume‎that‎a‎private‎company‎(known‎as‎“NewCo”‎in‎the‎ consultation) will take over the Land Registry. We make that assumption because of the tenor of the commentary in the consultation that privatisation with a long term contract between government and a private operator and risk transferred to the latter is the preferred model.

  • 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.
