Headline

DLA targets Asia Pacific growth via merger with Aussie best friend

Comment

to @Vercingetorix at 2.43PM I'm sure too that Nigel Boardman and all at S&M are not worried at all about DLA. But, not everyone is Slaughters - in fact, in the UK no other firm is like S&M at all - and that's the problem with your argument. But, there are a couple of dozen top 50 law firms in the UK that really are getting left behind in terms of global capability to whom such competition may soon matter. OK, yes, DLA are no magic circle firm, but so what? They're doing alright and still will be some years in the future. As for many others between the UK Top 50 to silver circle rank, I'm really not so sure. Last time I checked most major clients were increasing their investments abroad. You can follow them, or sit on your hands and wait to see what happens.
