Links puts age before beauty

Yawn... Oh dear, it appears that Broad-minded Observer is, in fact, anything but. "[B]linkered, ageist and inflexible"? How very strange that such organisations outnumber US firms in the global elite, and that such antiquated systems of lock-step have pushed Slaughters to pole position, and Freshfield and Linklaters to 4th and 5th, respectively, in global profit tables. No magic circle firm will look to remove partners "who are still operating at full-tilt", regardless of age, but age in-and-of-itself is insufficient reason to retain partners who are not operating in such a fashion. It's a business, and it's a performance culture. If you can't perform, you need to go.
