In 2001, Wragge & Co’s then managing partner, Quentin Poole, went on the record to dispel any rumours about the firm’s strategy. “People might not believe us,” he said, “but we are not recruiting in London or abandoning our one-office strategy.”
Three years on and the firm’s fifth ‘niche’ practice now operates from the City, and two of its leading private equity partners, numerous property partners and a strong group of IP lawyers are based there full time. Poole still insists that the ‘Birmingham first’ strategy remains, and adds that the firm’s numbers there will grow to 1,500 over the next four to five years, with London increasing to 250 during the same period.
