| 12/11/25 | ![]() Why 2025 marked a turning point for the business of law | Send us Fan Mail As 2025 draws to a close, it feels like 2025 has been an inflection point for the legal sector. While firm financials largely look good, fundamental changes are underway on both sides of the Atlantic. Technology, investment, mergers and even politics all shook the business of law this year. So for the final episode of The Lawyer Podcast in 2025, we take a look back at what has changed for the sector this year, and what it means for 2026. | 35m 00s | ||||||
| 11/27/25 | ![]() The unfiltered take on the Ashurst Perkins Coie merger | Send us Fan Mail Unlike A&O’s tie up with Shearman and Sterling, Ashurst’s announcement that it had agreed a merger did not come as a surprise. The firm had been in the market for a US-merger for more than two decades, yet its new partner, Perkins Coie, did still come as a bit of a surprise. The silver circle firm clearly needed to make its move, but was it the right one? Tune in to the new episode of The Lawyer Podcast as hosts Catrin Griffiths and Christian Smith are joined by Matt Byrn... | 31m 09s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 | ![]() Merger mania hits New York | Send us Fan Mail The Lawyer’s editor Catrin Griffiths and director of insight Matt Byrne are back from a fact-finding mission in New York, and merger mania is gripping the city’s lawyers. As firms seek scale, reach and private capital clients, some of the oldest firms in the Big Apple are pondering how a tie up could help their bottom line. And while private equity investment into firms is all the rage in the UK, in the US it is starting to gain traction as well. So in the new episode of The ... | 33m 40s | ||||||
| 10/30/25 | ![]() Let's tax all the lawyers! | Send us Fan Mail Tax rises for partnerships may be on the way in next month’s Budget – and potentially big ones at that. Many lawyers were left shocked after the news broke last week that the Government is considering adding the equivalent of employer’s national insurance onto partnerships. So on the new episode of The Lawyer Podcast, we ask what that might mean for a range of firms, whether it is a good idea (or just good politics), what firms might do about it, and what friend of the show a... | 28m 40s | ||||||
| 10/16/25 | ![]() Private equity: a poisoned chalice? | Send us Fan Mail Private equity investment in law firms has accelerated in the past 12 months. Essentially every UK200 law firm in the country has been approached, and many have already accepted the opportunity. Now the question is whether firms at the top of the market might join in. But is it actually a good idea? Can law firms offer the rapid turnaround that private equity demands? Or is it just a chance for equity partners to cash in and retire, leaving behind them a mess for their firms?... | 34m 34s | ||||||
| 10/2/25 | ![]() UK 200 special: The most interesting firms in the top 100 | Send us Fan Mail The Lawyer's UK200: Top 100 report, sponsored by Legora, is out and it contains 100 stories of firms forging ahead or falling behind. But which are the most interesting of all? In this week's episode of The Lawyer Podcast we dive into the sea of data and analysis that is the UK200 report and come up clutching four firms that are particularly worthy of attention this year. Who are they? Why should you care about them? And who does director of insight Matt Byrne think is the se... | 26m 20s | ||||||
| 9/18/25 | ![]() Calling all gardeners - your firm needs you! | Send us Fan Mail Gardening has transformed from an old-fashioned past-time to a popular trend in the past few years, and now, even law firms are getting in on the action. Firms like Eversheds, Switalskis and CANDEY are leading the charge, but there is so much more that could be done. After all, who wants to look at a grey bit of concrete all day. So as the Autumn weather sets in and as we all try to distract ourselves from the news, The Lawyer Podcast asks what difference gardens would make t... | 26m 14s | ||||||
| 9/4/25 | ![]() Why it was a hot debunching summer - and what else you missed on your holidays | Send us Fan Mail The kids are back in school, the clouds are rolling in, and offices across the land are filling up with lawyers returning from their holidays. And just in time, The Lawyer Podcast is back after the summer break. But just like in Westminster, it was far from a quiet summer for the legal sector. So on our first episode back, we bring you the stories you missed while you were on your holidays. From Addleshaw Goddard’s salary debunching and bumps in the road for Pogust Goodhead a... | 27m 10s | ||||||
| 7/31/25 | ![]() Are the New York elite finished? | Send us Fan Mail 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 univers... | 33m 38s | ||||||
| 7/10/25 | ![]() The runny poop problem is law's next battleground | Send us Fan Mail As the government launches a sweeping review into parental leave, The Lawyer Podcast takes a look at the challenges faced by parents and other carers working in the legal sector. Are firms pulling their weight? Are men? How far have we come and what more can be done? SHOW NOTES The Lawyer's Working Parents Report can be read here. | 29m 29s | ||||||
| 6/26/25 | ![]() Freshfields, Lewis Silkin and the C-word | Send us Fan Mail Lewis Silkin and Freshfields are two very different law firms. But they now have one thing in common – they won one of the two big awards at The Lawyer Awards 2025 last week. Now, The Lawyer Podcast is not typically a podcast to gush and coo. But with Lewis Silkin taking home UK firm of the year this year, and Freshfields winning Transatlantic firm of the year, on this episode, the team wanted to ask what these two firms are getting right. And the answer is something th... | 37m 06s | ||||||
| 6/12/25 | ![]() Paul Weiss’s growth is just the tip of the iceberg | Send us Fan Mail We have never seen such rapid investment in the London legal market like Paul Weiss’s recruitment spree since 2023. Between 2023 and 2024 alone, the firm's London headcount tripled and its estimated turnover grew by more than 550 per cent. But that was just the start of the story for US firms in London over the last financial year, as private capital doubled down on the London market. So is it all rosy for American firms in London? Or could there be trouble on the horizon? Tu... | 33m 26s | ||||||
| 5/29/25 | ![]() Have litigation funders been chasing a busted flush? | Send us Fan Mail On the surface, litigation funding and class actions are booming in the UK. Over the past five years, dozens of class actions have been filed in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and just at the start of this month, a new £5bn action was filed against Google. The 60 cases now in the CAT are said to be worth more than £160bn. And they are all backed by a litigation funder. But with the judgment in Merricks v Mastercard this month seeing funder Innsworth lash out at the CAT... | 27m 05s | ||||||
