In The Lawyer Podcast Catrin Griffiths and Christian Smith discuss how litigators have become law's true entrepreneurs. They discuss the growth of the litigation boutiques who tend to be genuinely conflict-free and the impact they have had on the use of litigation funding, using changes in the law and allowing big claims to be brought. They highlight Hausfeld as a true pioneer and confirm how the market credits us as a true entrepreneur with lawyers who are required to be innovative and “how a lot of what we are talking about now, spawns from them…”. M&A lawyers are no longer seen as the dealmakers, with litigation departments gaining in importance across the London market. We see more securities and environmental litigation, for example, but they also have an impact in the way we work and run firms as businesses. Alex Taylor explains how that ethos now also drives the European market. https://apple.co/46H0znH

So Abry Partners just bought Inflexion's investment in Chambers, with big plans in store. I lost faith in pure lawyer-ranking companies over the years--leaning instead towards the law firm and lawyer rankings provided in conjunction with expansive consulting services (e.g. Boston-based The BTI Consulting Group being my preference). Nonetheless, Chambers has held onto its allure - largely due to the depth of research and analysis described in this announcement (posted by Chambers) and a robust brand--and the Chambers credit in lawyer bios still gets my attention. So I'm curious. What's your take on lawyer ranking services? Do GCs rely on them--and to what degree? Does your law firm still make the Chambers investment? #rankings #lawyers #lawfirms

Another US law firm launching in London with a proven Private Equity heavy weight. Leading with PE points to the international nature of the PE market and the need to shore up PE in Europe in order to maintain or increase market share in the domestic US market. It is also one of the least rate sensitive areas which appeals to US law firms. It will be interesting to see the scale of investment and the rate at which they Perkins Coie achieve traction with further laterals in what remains a very competitive market for talent. #fidessearch #webringtherightpeopletogether https://lnkd.in/gd5eBmV8
