Are the New York elite finished?

There is a radical reconfiguration taking place in the world of BigLaw that may make terms like magic circle or white shoe firm obsolete.

The transatlantic, private capital corridor between New York and London is now the stamping ground for some of the world’s best and most profitable law firms - firms that The Lawyer are now calling the Global Elite.

The Lawyer’s brand new The Global Elite report sets out those firms making the grade as part of the transatlantic universe.

So tune in to this episode of The Lawyer Podcast as the team discusses who has made the grade, the decline of New York elite firms like Cravath and Cadwalader, the emerging battle between the Kirkland and Latham models, and why the Global Elite is really the new club many firms will want to join. Plus, which firms we think are the ones to watch going forward.

The Lawyer Podcast will be taking a break over August, but will be back in September with new and exciting content, so make sure you subscribe to get the latest episodes.
