They Come From a Land Down Under (More Tales from The Hunt)

In another sign of the ongoing squeeze for top legal talent - here is a story, from the Australian Lawyers Weekly, about the successes Milbank and White & Case have been enjoying in recruiting lateral associates from top Australian law firms. What is remarkable here is that New York firms are finally starting to do what their London-based magic-circle competitors have been doing for years: flying teams of partners to another continent to interview potential lateral recruits. No doubt that the successes of Milbank & White & Case in recruiting Australians will inspire their competitors to get on a plane as well.
