I find the "breaking news" tagline about somebody changing jobs hilarious

it’s absurd

i mean, sure, a whole team moving etc. might b vaguely interesting, but even that’s not really hot off the press stuff

1 bloke. meh 

Kirkland are at the stage now where they’re an institutional player. On both sides of the Atlantic they’re about entrenched, global client relationships. They no longer need to be the biggest payers in town hoping marquee rainmakers will win them new prizes. K&E and Latham are the new magic circle basically.

Powerful insights. Thanks man 

Is it someone who's over 50?  K&E tend to pay the mega bux to the 45-50 brigade

not sure i completely agree laz

their businesses (latham 2 a lesser degree) r heavily skewed 2wards private capital clients. so i agree with global institutionalisation but the model is purposefully much narrower and targeted 2 the most profitable and least fee sensitive clients

o ffs i dislike myself 4 having written that post

The creatures outside looked from serge to company man, and from company man to serge, and from serge to company man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which

big private capital selects its law firms on an institutional basis these days

panels, agreed rates, multi partner coverage

p.s. my insights are powerful, yes, and you are right to thank me

laz old boi, i was disputing ur new magic circle point, not the institutionalisation of international clients point

fook u in advance wang notm7

I think u've overreacted there m7

☹️

this thread has not gone as intended. i blame laz and his irrepressible need 2 apply journalistic commentary
