Ted Burke considers the prospects for Freshfields and the legal sector in the short to medium term. He looks at the increasing globalisation of legal work and the knock-on effect for younger lawyers going to work in the City. He discusses emerging economies such as India, China and Russia and considers opportunities for lawyers to outsource. As a US qualified lawyer, Ted gives his view on the value of young City lawyers being US/UK dual-qualified. He considers how the Legal Services Act will impact Freshfields and the other City and commercial law firms. He ends with a look at the Eurozone and the role of lawyers in clearing up the ‘mess’ and the future global regulation of banking.
