DLA job cuts give rise to enmity between Aussie, UK lawyers

This article is just such a load of codswallop and lazy reporting as to be a complete waste of space. The fault lines in the firm are entrenched in the partnership itself rather than swiping among the lawyers.... and as for your speculation about what McNair and Co are getting paid you are dead wrong. The 'Aussie Mafia' are among the best renumerated partners in the entire DLA partnership. And they have not delivered and on top of that the projects team has been the least impacted by redundancies with them all off on secondments or sabbaticals to date rather than getting the chop (so far I expect round three to fall on them heavily though) McNair was made an equity partner on the basis that he brought Nakheel with him as a client and Nakheel was a very big client. And anyone with half a brain knows what happened to Nakheel. Also you completely missed the fact that the head of IT is also an Australian... but perhaps a good omission on your part because Matt Glynn certainly cannot be considered as part of the Aussie Mafia and is the ONLY reason that I would ever instruct DLA on any matter.
