Send us Fan Mail The new episode of The Lawyer Podcast is out now! On this episode, Catrin and Christian preview next week’s The Lawyer Awards and take a look at some of the categories exciting them this year. Rachel Moloney, deputy editor (City), joins the podcast to discuss which firms retain talented senior lawyers in corporate when they're not making partner, while other firms just don’t like it (hint, it’s the US ones). And following the launch of Horizon Live last week, we bring you an excerpt of the discussion between the London managing partners of three leading US firms. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett’s Jason Glover, Jenner and Block’s Christine Braamskamp, and Mayer Brown’s Dominic Griffiths join to tell us why an economic downturn isn’t a bad thing for private equity lawyers, and what they think about the A&O – Shearman & Sterling merger.
