Another week, another breakfast at The Delaunay. The Aldwych eaterie must be the most popular breakfast haunt for lawyers in London, if the number of times it has been chosen as the meeting venue by subjects of this column is anything to go by. I haven’t quite got to the point where I have a table set aside and a coffee ready for me when I sit down, but that can’t be too far off.
This week’s guest is Charlie Geffen, who in November moved to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in one of the U.K. legal market’s highest-profile moves in years. Geffen, 55, was formerly the senior partner of top London firm Ashurst. But after being ousted from his managerial role in a shock election defeat last November—a loss that he says left him feeling “sanguine and liberated, in a way that people who have managed law firms will understand”—Geffen quit the firm at which he had spent his entire career and took six months out to contemplate his next move.
