Mayer Brown courtship of Simmons founders

Ten years on and history repeats itself. Mayer Brown merged with Rowe & Maw to solve a problem with a loss making London office. Its problem then, as now, is that the Chicago power brokers did not and still do not understand the London legal market. Some of the decisions made by the firm in relation to its London office over the past three years have been tantamount to pressing the self-destruct button. Few who have gone from the firm in that time will have any sympathy for its plight, and one can only assume that the CVs of the remaining decent lawyers in London office are already doing the rounds.
