𝑨𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒖𝒑 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒈𝑳𝒂𝒘 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒚 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚! Overall it's been an encouraging 2024 thus far in the #CapitalMarkets space, with activity in the first eight months that has had many teams eyeing an even stronger close to the calendar year. I'm a big believer in the fact that perceived strength in a practice area can often be measured by notable partner/group moves, as firms will often look to bolster their ranks to lure cash cow clients or handle expected heavy workflow. So when I see a move like this in the Capital Markets space, I start to think that the decision-makers at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP are seeing something in the tea leaves. Earlier this week, the 100+ year old New York-born Willkie managed to lure away an 11-person team from the Capital Markets group at Chicago's own Mayer Brown... a move made right in Mayer Brown's own backyard! This group included five partners, most notably rainmaker and group co-head Edward Best, along with 20 year capital markets veteran 𝐉𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐬𝐨𝐧 and John Ablan, Esther Chang and Susan Rabinowitz. This move is really interesting because not only does it lend belief to a resurgence in the Capital Markets space, but it also shows a tremendous amount of investment in the 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 market, which has historically taken a backseat to the coastal metropolises when if comes to securities offerings. #BigLaw #lateralmarket https://lnkd.in/escN6F8H
