freshfields: keen to sell finance brand to key banking clientsFreshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is in the final stages of an overhaul of its City finance practice, which is expected to usher in client-specific teams with the brief to institutionalise the magic circle firm’s key banking relationships.

The review, which mirrors a similar shake-up by the firm’s London corporate department last year, is set to consolidate Freshfields’ finance practice and bring in new client-specific teams with the mandate to sell the wider finance practice to key clients.
