How did the Kirkland partner video get leaked is the question we’re asking ourselves. Some are recalling the infamous ‘Claire Swire email’ which involved a Norton Rose lawyer from way back at the dawn of time in 2000 and the one too from a CC lawyer back in 2003. *All articles and videos can be found in the comments section. Clifford Chance Adopts US-Style Bonus System for Associates: Clifford Chance has revamped its bonus system for UK associates to align more closely with those offered by US firms, according to The Lawyer . The new system, introduced last month, rewards associates more when they are in higher demand, with bonuses linked to the number of hours billed. This US-style focus on billables marks a departure from the ‘no target-hours culture’ prevalent at many UK firms. Clyde & Co Boosts Revenue by 10%: Clyde & Co has reported strong financial results for the past year, with revenue growing by 10% to £845 million. Profit per equity partner (PEP) increased by 4% to £739,000. The firm attributed its growth to success across various practice areas, emphasizing its "sector-focused, geographically hedged" model. Over the year, Clyde & Co added 32 new partners through lateral hires and internal promotions. Kirkland & Ellis Partner Video Goes Viral in the City: A video leaked to RollOnFriday shows two Kirkland & Ellis partners in London mocking a fellow partner during a work call, culminating in him knocking over a bottle of whisky. The footage, recorded in Kirkland's London office in the Gherkin, is circulating among City lawyers. In the video, the partner gives the middle finger to the person filming but nearly drops a bottle of Macallan whisky before catching it. Reactions in the comments are mixed. One top comment expressed sympathy, saying, "can't believe anyone leaked this… poor guy," while another suggested, "I'd be sacking this bunch of jokers. You know this is just the tip of the iceberg." Partner's 4,000 Hours Help Sullivan & Cromwell LLP Hit $200 Million Mark: Sullivan & Cromwell’s fees for the ongoing bankruptcy of cryptocurrency exchange FTX have reached $200 million, largely thanks to the efforts of a single partner.

Bespoke CEO, Crystal Utley, had the privilege of discussing the vital topic of ethical challenges in litigation funding at the Third Annual Shades of Mass conference alongside CRO Andy Rogers from Shield Legal and moderated by Priscilla Jimenez of Kline & Specter, PC. While litigation funding can increase access to legal resources for contingent firms, it may also create a disparity where only those with potentially lucrative claims can secure funding, leaving others without access to justice. This is an important discussion that Bespoke is leaning into that calls for both creativity and accountability. It’s uplifting and energizing to witness the legal community come together to tackle these vital challenges in a field that calls for both creativity and accountability. #Ethics, #LitigationFunding #LitigationFinance #ContingentFirms #Claims #Legal
