Maher overlooked in Mayer Brown rejig

In response to the comment posted on the 17th at 10:32 there is a need for some truth. On the subject of Maher's pay is he overpaid for what he does? It is well publicised that there are lawyers of International law firms earning 3-4 million pounds a year. Maher probably earns about a third of this; an amount well deserved for the effort and talent he brings to Mayer Brown. If anything, he is underpaid for what he does. Concerning Maher's clients, they are all incredibly loyal to him and would be disgusted by the notion proclaimed by this previous blogger. Having worked with Maher for years I can tell you the vast majority of his clients will follow him in whatever direction he chooses take. Finally, with regard to London it has been well documented that he gave up his position of senior partner in order to focus on the firm globally. Thus the success of London has not been totally in his hands. Despite this London is still one of Mayer Brown’s better performing offices. Having worked with Maher, I can categorically reveal he is not difficult by nature; just very passionate and energetic.
