Simpson Thacher confirmed that its highest-paid partners are expected to take home more than $20 million this year. Also, Paul Weiss is in the news again, as its London office secures the biggest M&A mandate to date with a $3.5 billion deal. Meanwhile, the Lex Mundi network of independent law firms has selected a new chair as it undertakes a new strategic plan. – Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor, Law.com International |
