Linklaters moots tie-up with Slaughters' Aussie best friend

Makes no sense at all, good move for Allens - Linklaters would be selling itself short. Why cull 70 quality partners who return far more than any Allens partner ever could, then merge with a firm that does half your PEP and is a domestic practice in a market with little scope for expansion i.e. the big Aussie companies are already operating outside Australia, are sophisticated and will not make their counsel decisions any differently. Will BHP stop instructing Slaughters? not likely.
