As highlighted in this month’s The Legal 500 view article on page 22, the white-collar and corporate crime market has seen significant volumes of lateral hiring activity year after year. This recruitment activity continues to shift both the L500 corporate crime rankings, which focus on advice to corporates embroiled in investigations, and the white-collar rankings, which focus on those advising the individuals within them.
Taking a ten-year view of both rankings though, it is clear that despite City firms’ efforts, to date, the very top of the white-collar rankings remain largely the preserve of the crime boutiques, while City firms dominate the corporate crime rankings. The same is also true of the leading individual tables by number. Lower down though there is more evidence of the impact recruitment is making on the rankings, with firms including Dechert, Cadwalader and Paul Hastings among those climbing the rankings over time and increasing their leading individual counts.
