In private equity the firm currently has 12 partners and 40 associates in London, and 35 partners across Europe. With that platform, practice head Alex Woodward gets Linklaters to punch well above its weight. Woodward is among the handful of partners at the firm whose work thoroughly runs against the narrative Linklaters is devoid of standout talent or dynamic characters. But herein lies the paradox the firm is struggling to resolve: its success is partially responsible for the challenges it is increasingly facing.
Inherent resilience has bought Linklaters the time to postpone the tough decisions. While it is true the firm has enjoyed a relatively quiet spot for big exits over the last two years, that resilience has an expiry date. Perhaps the largest issue presents itself in the form of the US. While criticism of a lack of character or talent often resembles trash talking, suggestions the firm lacks a strategic boldness fall uncomfortably close to the mark.
To date, we have decided not to go large. This is revisited from time to time. But a wide client base and strong core has bought Links time. As the economic crisis continues, major plcs and banks will need disaster response advice from legal counsel, and clients like that make for lucrative and reliable pipelines of work.
Linklaters has such clients in abundance, and it also remains true that US firms tend to fare worse in major downturns than their UK counterparts, meaning the Linklaters could avoid adding to its large alumni network among major American firms. Linklaters may have entered the Covid era listing somewhat, at best playing for time as more profitable and ambitious rivals began to circle.
But with the industry put on the defensive, the value of time is hard to overstate. Traditionally, like the proverbial London transit, you wait ages for one set of Magic Circle results and then they start coming in like buses. Notwithstanding the change in circumstances arising as a result of Covid, we have been able to continue to support our people and our clients.
Our long-term strategy remains unchanged: investing in our globally diverse talent base and growing our practices sustainably to best serve our clients. Leading law firms have so far proven remarkably robust in the face of the crisis with many plc and sponsor clients still turning to them for profitable work during the pandemic. Even with managing partners gearing up for a tougher year ahead, the early results from these two City leaders will steady some nerves in the profession.
Meanwhile, insurers and claimants have reached an accord, with the groups set to work together throughout the pandemic to ensure a continued access to justice. The case had originally been scheduled for seven days in the court with witnesses from America, Belgium and Kazakhstan all set to be called before travel restrictions were laid down due to the spread of Covid In the past pieces of evidence have been given remotely, but to have every judge, advocate, witness and interpreter in different places is certainly novel.
The move comes as courts have faced increased pressure to radically change their practices as Covid continues to impose severe disruption throughout the legal industry. Yesterday, the Supreme Court went virtual for the first time in its history, conducting a case entirely through video conferencing.
