Linklaters’ new senior partner Robert Elliott has spent much of his first weeks in office courting general counsel. Since formally succeeding David Cheyne in the role at the start of this month, Elliott has paid a visit to most of the firm’s top 50 clients, which include the likes of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and BP. The number of meetings represents something of a shift for Linklaters, demonstrating its recognition of the growing power of in-house counsel and the way the firm needs to change its service accordingly.
