Alastair Mordaunt tells Alex Aldridge why he has no regrets about leaving Freshfields for the OFT – and how a stint in the public sector can do wonders for your CV
As you approach Fleetbank House, home of the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), you can see the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer through the mass of buildings clustered just off Fleet Street. The close proximity of the two organisations means that OFT director of mergers Alastair Mordaunt has suffered minimal disruption to his commute since moving from the magic circle law firm in 2007.
That is pretty much where the similarities between life at Freshfields and the OFT end, though, says Mordaunt, who will shortly take up a new position as director of the OFT's markets and projects group.
