Maher puts his name to his claim

Paul Baggins has it right. Greenberg isn't a "top-tier firm" in the sense of prestige or massive deals. It *is* a very large, and very fast-growing, firm in the US in terms of overall size; and more importantly, it's a place someone like Maher - talented, ambitious, but not exactly a team player - can build a practice unfettered by the rest of the firm. The question is (a) whether GT US' coherence can be sustained in the long term, and (b) whether Maher really does still have those crucial client connections despite being distracted by management for the last couple of years. It wouldn't be the first time a US firm had paid mightily for a UK partner on the back of past glories.
