What this session will cover

The panel will explore the legal risks in a team recruitment exercise and conclude with a reflection on what target firms are doing to deter defections.

As London maintains its strategic importance for many international law firms based or looking to establish a presence in the City, tools to retain talented teams and lawfully recruit the best is an issue at the top of leadership’s agenda.  We are seeing  that firms are increasingly considering litigation/ arbitration to protect their biggest assets. The panel will take delegates through the anatomy of a team recruitment exercise, looking at the risks from all angles.
