Joshua Freedman
I'm the City editor. I oversee our reporting of deals and am responsible for the weekly Deals Insider email newsletter that comes out every Monday, covering client relationships, legal fees and data-led market trends. I also write stories and analysis on the top City law firms, with a focus on the magic and silver circle and in-house matters at big banks and corporates. Come to me with news about top firms, deals, legal panels and my pet subject, the collapse of US law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf. Follow me at @TheLawyerJoshua.
