A&O beats budget with rises in turnover and profits

Why is it wishful thinking? Both Freshfields and Linklaters have significantly higher profits and an equally impressive international presence. The difference being that they don't pop open shop in every location at a whim. Why would any top flight partner stay at A&O if, according to this very publication, the highest paid partners at the aforementioned firms are pulling in £3m+/year. Surely that makes A&O's longer equity ladder of 14 years, reaching a plateau of £1.6m, seem like chump change.
