Revealed: Davis Polk snares Freshfields partner for English law launch

No, Abe (I can call you Abe, can't I?), Wachtell won't, and nor will Cravath, whose DNA is equally set against any sort of overseas presence. Different for Davis Polk, who have had a presence of sorts in a number of major jurisdictions for some time. It has got harder and harder for DP to justify the major lacuna of having diddly in London. This, one imagines, is merely the opening gambit of what will probably be a swift game of catch-up in the City.
