Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer competition litigation head, Jon Lawrence, is to leave the firm to pursue a career as a barrister at Brick Court Chambers.
Lawrence, who has worked at Freshfields for over 30 years, is seeking to join Brick Court in the autumn of 2018 upon successful completion of any pupillage and subject to compliance with any other regulatory requirements.
He will remain at Freshfields until that time, the Magic Circle firm confirmed. It is expected that Lawrence will retain all of his clients and will continue to work on all of his Freshfields mandates until his departure.
David Scott, Freshfields’ global practice group leader for dispute resolution told Legal Business, “It’s testament to the quality of our partners that they have the opportunity to broaden their careers. Jon’s move offers those clients who are working with him continuity – and of course they also have that from within the outstanding team we have in the firm, which has had a longstanding approach of dual-partnering our cases.”
