White & Case: no loitering

This is seriously bad advice. - If what you need to become Cleary, Shearman or Skadden in terms of profitability is a leaner organisation, a stronger M&A practice, "integration" and internal growth, then you try to achieve just this. - Does anyone seriously suggest that a firm like W&C could continue doing headline-grabbing oil & gas deals and killer international arbitratlon and sovereign work if they were to become DLA Piper, Reed Smith or Baker & McKenzie? - 10 years ago the mantra of legal publications was that firms like Shearmans, Cleary, Sullivan, Slaughter were doomed unless, of course, they were ready to embrace the UK internationalist model. The future was the Ashurst model. Yep...
