The Saturday of the first Test of the summer at Lord’s is always a good time to catch up with old friends and colleagues. So imagine Maurice Allen’s delight, mere weeks into his new career at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, to find that he had time to share a cup of tea with his former White & Case mates in the Mound Stand shortly before play started against the Kiwis on the third day.
Allen and finance sidekick Mike Goetz found themselves just a few executive boxes along from their former firm – although with so many rainmakers around it was no wonder the day’s play was a virtual washout thanks to classic British summertime weather.
