BDB Pitmans needs a new merger partner; and the legal issues hanging over rugby before the Six Nations
Following the launch of the Hot 100 last week, The Lawyer’s editor Catrin Griffiths sits down with new Hot 100 member Banke Odunaike from CBRE to discuss her career, the nuances of being a role model, and what her son made of her inclusion. The Six Nations kicks off this weekend as a storm of legal issues hangs over rugby. The Lawyer’s litigation editor Christian Smith explains what’s going on, and why lawyers are so much more involved in the game now. The Womble Bond Dickinson and BDB Pitmans merger is off. Deputy editor (UK) Rich Simmons is back on the podcast to figure out what went on, and what struggling BDB Pitmans might do next. And international editor Alex Taylor joins us from Oslo, where he wants to talk about Spain, and the possible strategic partnership between Taylor Wessing and Spanish firm ECIJA.
