Allen and Goetz to launch UK base for Boston's Ropes & Gray

It's hard to read the tea leaves here. R&G is a very Boston Brahmin type of firm, quite conservative in its growth thus far (it's 2009 and they aren't on the West coast, they barely made it to Chicago). R&G has good client relationships with private equity types like Bain and if partners in Boston do a good job referring work to the likes of Allen and Goetz, then methinks I see more potential here for success than Paul Maher's new operation since Greenberg doesn't necessarily have the deep historic relationships that Ropes has.
