Katten's London office was recently featured in a Legal Business article highlighting the firm's shifting strategic approach to its presence in London and the growth it has seen since it opened 20 years ago. The office has thoughtfully broadened its scope of services. It started as a financial services boutique but has since added capabilities, including corporate, private equity, M&A and litigation. Having expanded to over 40 lawyers, the office has nearly doubled its revenue since 2021. It is also increasingly integrated and aligned with the firm's US platform.
"First, we reiterated a strong commitment to be in London, in particular in the core markets that we see as our signature strengths in the US, primarily finance and financial services, and related practices including corporate, private equity, M&A, and litigation," said London Managing Partner Christopher Hitchins.
"And second, a commitment to double down on the strengths that we have in financial services in London, and to try to replicate our success there across practices where the firm has an international client base and need."
