Mayer Brown picks up Camerons property finance partner

Dear Clueless People... I am sorry to inform you that the London office has (in the last year or so) lost of the head of capital markets (debt and equity), head of real estate, head of competition, various other senior and rain making lawyers and the heads of other teams are well known to be interviewing at other firms. Porbably most telling is the departure of various members of the global management committee. These are people who have tremendous knowledge of the firm and set their own pay. And they're leaving. Much of the rot started before the R&M merger and it was certainly worsened during Maher's reign. GTM (and its massive losesof money and turnover of partners) is evidence of how Maher struggled to build firms. Signed... happy with friends when I was there, couldn't wait to get out the door and even happier not to be there any more.
