Legal histories: corporate law in the 80s The Legal Cheek Podcast

    • Zakelijk nieuws

On the first of Legal Cheek’s new legal history podcast mini-series, Legal Cheek publisher Alex Aldridge sits down with Alan Paul, former Allen & Overy partner and corporate law star. Alan reflects on his career journey from trainee solicitor in the late 1970s, during the Winter of Discontent and at the beginning of Margaret Thatcher’s term as UK Prime Minister, to Magic Circle partner by the mid-80s, and through until the end of the decade. He discusses the stark differences between his experience and what lawyers face today, but also the similarly testing economic and social environments at that time and now.
