“

I find the IFLR1000 an up-to-date and credible source for selecting and sourcing new legal firms in a new business area or country, and to compare legal firms’ capabilities in different practices.

I find the tiered rankings particularly useful when benchmarking and comparing between existing legal firms, plus looking at unfamiliar legal practices or locations.

“

I refer to the IFLR1000 especially with respect to jurisdictions I have no knowledge about. The main reasons: to find a good firm or confirm standing of a firm recommended by someone else.

I usually use the IFLR1000 in connection with a need to engage a local counsel on an M&A deal.

Reed Smith snags SJ Berwin VC partner in Munich

03 Feb 2012



Reed Smith has enhanced its German private equity offering with the hire of SJ Berwin's head of German venture and growth capital.

Justus Binder joins the US firm in Muncih where he will take up the position of head of private equity. He was one of the founders of SJ Berwin's Munich office and focuses on private equity and M&A. Specifically he covers buy-out transactions and venture capital investments.

The move follows Reed Smith's hire of Perry Yam in London at the end of last year (December 2011) which coincided with the firm launching its London private equtiy practice.

Both moves are part of the US firm's increased corporate focus in London, Munich and Paris.
