Maurice Allen just can't stop hitting the headlines. After joining Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer last year following stints at White & Case, Weil Gotshal & Manges and Clifford Chance, he had resigned himself to being a largish cog in the City giant's recently restructured banking machine. True, some thought Allen would chafe within the institutional confines of Freshfields - but that hardly looked a deal-breaker. Freshfields is as light on process and paperwork as you will get at a top-flight global firm. And while Allen's flamboyant personality may be hard to incorporate, Freshfields has previously proved more than willing to cut slack to big characters who deliver the goods.
