Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw’s London arm looks set to come away largely unscathed from the firm’s restructuring, in which 45 partners will be axed from its equity – equivalent to around 10% of its equity partnership.

The firm, which announced the cuts last week as part of a drive to boost profits, will remove 42 US partners from its equity partnership, with only three further cuts coming elsewhere. This means the 104-partner London office is unlikely to see many departures.
