It is a thoughtful, candid conversation aimed at law firm leaders navigating a rapidly shifting landscape. If your firm is eyeing growth beyond borders, you will not want to miss this one.
Featured Quotes:
- Gerard Tanja: "We will see in the future—a kind of global elite type of 10 to 15 firms consisting mainly of and dominated by U.S. firms."
- Rob Bata: "What we are seeing is that disputes generally—litigation, arbitration, mediation—are becoming global. This is why litigation boutiques are becoming more international."
Main Topics Discussed:
- The big mergers that have garnered significant attention: Allen & Overy teaming up with Shearman & Sterling, and the pending Herbert Smith Freehills-Kramer Levin combination.
- How U.S. and U.K. firms are positioning themselves for European expansion—and why they are choosing certain markets over others.
- The increasing presence of Chinese and Japanese firms in Europe and what that means for regulatory dynamics.
- The rise of specialized litigation boutiques and their shift toward a global footprint.
- Why the Nordic and Benelux regions are becoming hot spots for law firm growth.
- What law firm leaders should expect in the next few years—more transatlantic mergers, aggressive European expansions, and a reshaping of the mid-market landscape.
