Freshfields wins Bloxham age case...

Freshfields wins Bloxham age case Freshfields may have won the lawsuit... but it is a phyrric victory. To have handled the process so poorly as to allow this to happen must surely raise questions as to the judgment of the management of the firm, their management abilities and the consequent impact upon the partnership ethos of the firm. Whilst Freshfields may have saved a few pennies here with Mr Bloxham's redundancy, what it has achieved in winning is a rare double - significant adverse press couple with a perspective that the firm is uncaring and lacks compassionate. Freshfields has got itself into the invidious position of it ultimately (following any appeal) wins the law suit it loses and if it loses the lawsuit it loses. Brilliant management.
