Headline

Bevan Brittan to vote on shake-up as PEP drops

Comment

Who should be in charge? I have some sympathy with Mr Whitfield. As a non-management partner, personally I'd hate to give up my role on the deal coal face for what Slaughter and May's Nigel Boardman described years ago as 'counting paper clips'. Yet law firms need management, and it is perhaps a bit tough that Mr Whitfield is taking the heat for the partnership's collective failure when other members have avoided blame simply by simply not stepping forward to help manage the firm. If Whitfield's role was a contested one then this consideration does not apply, but only if.
