Revealed: Davis Polk snares Freshfields partner for English law launch

Comment

True, Kevin, but Davis Polk have had an office here for ages as well. The point is that Cravath don't, and in all probability, never will, practise English law - it's just the way they are. For Davis Polk, not practising English law in England was a strange anomaly, considering that they practise it elsewhere in the world. That is now remedied, as it had to be. One may argue how sustainable the Cravath model will be down the track, but that is another discussion for another day.
