Research into recent recruitment trends by international firms in London conducted by Legal Week, a sibling publication of The American Lawyer, has found that the group brought in over 20 percent more partners in 2015 than the year before, with total partner numbers climbing by 6 percent across the group year-on-year.
Legal Week’s analysis of the hiring activity of 36 primarily U.S. outfits found the group made a total of 110 partner-level lateral hires in 2015, compared with 90 in 2014. The hires helped push up overall London head count to new highs, with nine firms now housing at least 65 partners in London and Latham & Watkins joining an elite band of firms in the group with at least 200 U.K. lawyers, excluding partners.
