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.
My latest findings are that Q2 2012 may have been the worst quarter for partner
lateral hiring (in terms of numbers of hires
announced) for almost five years if one takes into account the «Dewey 20», partners from the stricken firm forced to
move rapidly to new homes as the US titan sank beneath the waves of its own hubristic expansion (see graph).
