Jones Day, one of the largest law firms in the Global 100 by headcount, is most commonly recognised for its US strengths, but John Phillips, partner-in-charge of the London office, says the firm is keen to expand its UK offering: ‘We have to develop in London and turn it into a main office. The plan is to recruit more people, more lateral hires.’
Phillips believes that Jones Day has plenty to offer. ‘We have spent lots of time speaking to potential lateral hires. We have something different to sell. We have a global platform and a different culture. We are a very strong stable firm and we’re ambitious,’ he said.
