On the brand new episode of The Lawyer Podcast, the coronation may be over, but law firms are still crowning new leaders and partners across the City. Our deputy editor (City), Rachel Moloney, joins hosts Catrin Griffiths and Christian Smith to discuss the trends emerging from the annual round of promotions. Our other deputy editor (UK) Richard Simmons is also with us to explain why A&O and Linklaters have caved and upped their NQ salaries. And Christian tells Cat why the Quinn Emanuel and Pallas Partners' Credit Suisse litigation reflects the changing nature of class actions and litigation strategy.
