Linklaters Continues Its NYC Expansion With Lateral Hire

June 30, 2009

Instead of bolstering its U.S. presence through a merger with a prestigious New York-based firm, Linklaters decided some time ago to build its New York office via lateral hires and recruiting -- a strategy that seems to be working, says the office's co-managing partner. The firm just hired bank regulatory partner Robin Maxwell from Goodwin Procter, the third major lateral hire Linklaters has made in the last year. The hire brings the office's head count to about 170.
