It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Patrick Smith at The American Lawyer to discuss this historic moment for our firm and what it means for our clients.   Our combination with Cadwalader represents the advancement of a six-year strategic journey to strengthen our firm's standing in the highest-value and most competitive legal market in the world: New York. Not only to expand how we serve clients through a scaled global finance platform centered on the New York-London corridor, but as part of a long-term global strategy to supercharge our balanced offering for clients across the G20 markets.   This is a strategy I first articulated to The American Lawyer as far back as 2019, so this opportunity to sit down with Patrick represented a full-circle moment. It was an occasion to reflect on the broader significance of this combination for our people and for our clients—and for the future of our strategic objectives as Hogan Lovells Cadwalader.   You can listen to the full podcast here: https://lnkd.in/dvK4bBHQ
