US firms stake City future on organic growth

Comment

Young recruits should stay in the UK (and work at US law fims)! In response to the Magic circle partner below, I am an associate in the London office of a US law firm. We have very few US lawyers over here and the people that I am learning from are all UK lawyers who came to this firm from magic circle/top law firm backgrounds in the UK. The only difference between learning from them and learning at a magic circle firm as far as I can see is that (a) they are a lot more involved in bringing on their younger associates and training them; and (b) they pay us a lot more than any magic circle firm would. The result is a much lower attrition rate.
