Over five years, London firms’ hiring of lateral partners has almost doubled, from 42 hires in 2004 to 79 in 2008.
The data come from a Legal Week study tracking hiring at 33 US and UK firms’ London offices.
Orrick, Weil Gotshal, Arnold & Porter, Cleary Gottlieb, Cravath, and Skadden all brought on laterals.
On the other hand, Shearman & Sterling, Dechert and White & Case cut lawyers.
