Dozen ‘Stolen’ Taylor Wessing Partners Headed to Nixon Peabody
The feud between Taylor Wessing's French office and Nixon Peabody is getting nastier. As first reported by The Am Law Daily, Taylor Wessing's 55-lawyer Paris outpost sued Nixon, claiming the U.S.-based firm violated a 2007 agreement not to recruit Taylor Wessing attorneys if merger talks between the two firms fell apart. Those talks ended in November. Now, in an attempt to halt a dozen lawyers' departures, Taylor Wessing has filed a new motion and is also asking the Paris Bar Association to step in.
