Law360 coverage highlights Edwards Gibson data amid Latham hiring push

Edwards Gibson data has been referenced in recent Law360 coverage by Ashish Sareen on lateral hiring activity in the London legal market.

The article focuses on Latham & Watkins’ continued expansion in the City, including the hire of three finance partners from A&O Shearman, as the firm strengthens its real estate and structured finance offering.

Alongside the deal story, Law360 draws on Edwards Gibson’s latest report to illustrate the wider market backdrop. The data shows that partner moves in London reached a record high in 2025, reflecting a particularly active year for lateral hiring.

The analysis also highlights the scale of movement at the top end of the market, with certain firms seeing notable levels of partner attrition as competition for experienced lawyers intensified.

Overall, the article presents these developments as part of a highly active period in the London market, with firms continuing to invest in key practice areas while navigating significant partner turnover.
