Biglaw Partner Says The Best Way To Expand Is Via Lateral Raids
Which firm is planning to employ this strategy?
We’re ambitious to grow this office and we need to be nearer 80 to 100 lawyers. Hiring one at a time is time-consuming and we’re interested in groups. It’s smart to steal the office of another firm – that’s a very effective way to grow.
— Carol Osborne, managing partner of Bryan Cave’s London office, explaining how the firm will continue to grow its office beyond its current 40-lawyer headcount.
