Linklaters is to launch a review aimed at finally handing full equity status to its German partners after last week drafting in star German recruits Ralph Wollburg and Achim Kirchfeld at the top of its core lockstep.

The review of German remuneration is being headed by managing partner-elect Simon Davies (pictured) and national senior partner Michael Lappe in a process that will look into fully integrating national partners into Linklaters’ core lockstep.
