Focus: Barlow Lyde & Gilbert - Jekyll and Lyde

Comment

Two things about BLG focusing on its insurance roots. First, BLG faces a serious issue from the number of ex partners and associates who were treated appallingly and now work in the insurance industry. Revenge for some is a dish best eaten cold. Incredibly, some of BLG's new wave of partners think that these individuals can be treated as potential sources of business. Second, BLG a competitor of Clydes - are you kidding?. Clydes left them standing years ago and invested wisely in "non-core" practice areas, which BLG repeatedly got wrong. And the other predominantly non-marine practices (Kennedys, RPC, etc) are light years ahead of BLG in providing standardised services. Arrogance and self-delusion has been this firm's problem in the past and nothing seems to have changed.
