Joanna Clarke, a corporate finance associate at Wragge & Co, has emailed in to say how inspiring she found the Dealmaker article in the latest issue of Legal Week.

Under the Dealmaker microscope was newly made-up Linklaters private equity partner Richard Youle (see story). Youle’s sense of humour was first revealed to Legal Week readers when he was ranked by Mergermarket as one of the UK’s hardest-working associates. “It is particularly reassuring to see how hard I have been working and a big boost given my impending divorce,” he quipped (see story).
