As the Legal Services Board gears up to launch enforcement action over the handling of Axiom Ince’s collapse, Katy Dowell zeroes in on the key takeaways from its long-awaited review.
Responsible for Horizon from The Lawyer, data-rich, strategic insight helping the legal sector navigate the path ahead. Delivered to thousands of commercial lawyers every morning at 7am.
The Legal Services Board has published its report into the SRA's handling of the collapse of Axiom Ince. The review reveals a series of missed opportunities to uncover the alleged misappropriation of £60m in client monies believed to have dated back to 2019. The SRA says the review makes recommendations about what it should have done with the benefit of "hindsight". "In our view," it says, "it is unrealistic to expect regulation to prevent all harms." There are no winners in this ongoing scandal. The reverberations will be widely felt, particularly if the SRA decides to take up the far reaching proposals put forward by the LSB to mitigate the risk of another such collapse occurring.
In this week's #Partnerless, all eyes on the City's most poachable associates, plus we met A&O Shearman's Bertrand Nzabandora to hear about his secondment to Meta's Reality Labs over in San Francisco.
Herbert Smith Freehills is using virtual reality tech to help train associates... but can it really teach them to give a Ted talk (and cope with heckling) or ask for a pay rise?

🌍 COMING SOON 🌍 I've been a bit quiet on here lately, but that's only because the team at The Lawyer has been hard at work on something exciting! In November, we're launching a #sustainability hub on our website. Here’s what to look forward to: ✅ Emissions Tracker: Our first-ever ranking and report of the top 75 UK firms based on total greenhouse gas emissions, bringing transparency to their environmental impact. 📊 Interactive dashboard: Here you can dive deep into each firm’s scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, their environmental accreditations, offsetting initiatives and more. 📰 Content hub: A dedicated space for all the latest news, horizons and features on sustainability in the legal sector. Stay tuned for more updates! And as ever, feel free to reach me at jessica.boak@thelawyer.com if you have any questions or stories to share.
In this week's #Partnerless we spoke to Jose Campos about how a change of scene helped his career, and looked at three ex-Burness Paull juniors who've all swapped Scotland for London this summer: Antonia Donaldson, Jo Strachan and Euan Fraser.

This week’s Curve was a little different, as we swapped the client and partner view for the VC and investor view… Each week we try to highlight views on tech inside the legal ecosystem, what’s going on in the sector and who is driving growth through technology, and we couldn’t do that justice without looking at what’s going on in the wider sector. Inside: James Spencer at Crane Venture Partners and Henry Goodwin at Leo Capital give us insight into what the challenges behind legaltech are, and what kind of legaltech is making moves in the industry… …while Simmons & Simmons shows us how to build a tool your clients actually want (and that generates revenue)… …and finally we take a tour of the firms and laterals taking the helm in the VC space and look into why everyone wants a bit of that VC pie - and what VC lawyers really think about it. Enjoy… and if you fancy seeing your name in lights in future editions, pitches and chats welcome over at lucie.cruz@thelawyer.com https://lnkd.in/es8xJC4b
