Clydes names insurance expert Burns as successor to senior partner Payton

It will be interesting to see to what extent James' agenda it the exact opposite of Michael's ie dismantling parts of the firm that fail to perform and streamlining as opposed to building revenue and offices as quickly as possible in the hope of outmanoevering (or indeed buying out) the competition. Most outside and perhaps inside the firm expect Manchester to find another home - perhaps not the same for Oxford and Guildford.The General Liability / Casualty /personal Injury practices can't be truly profitable run out of London so they must be vulnerable to cuts or relocation. Equally some of the overseas operations must now be recognised as nice flags on the map but not contributing to the bottom line.
