28页1、UNIT FIVETEXT ONEBoosted by booming international financial markets, the City of London has not had it so good since the end of the dotcom bonanza in the late 1990s. Basking in double-digit growth rates, Londons law firms have both contributed to that success and benefited from it. The earnings of top City lawyers can now exceed 2m a year. Having opted to expand and go global ahead of most others, Britains leading law firms tend to be bigger than their American rivals. Indeed, according to a sur
2、vey of the worlds top 50 law firms, compiled by Legal Business, a British trade paper, five of the worlds top six law firmsin terms of turnoverare now British (if DLA Piper, the result of an Anglo-American merger, is included).

Not so long ago, a London surgeon could expect to earn as much as a City lawyer. But even the recent big rises in hospital consultants earnings pall in comparison with those enjoyed by London lawyers. At Slaughter and May, for example, average profits per equity partner (PEP) jumped by almost a third (

Some senior partners get a lot more of course. Competition for the best lawyers is fierce and poaching frequent. Hence the need to keep headline PEP figures upeven at the cost of getting rid of equity partners, leaving a bigger share of the bounty for the remaining ones. Freshfields is in the process of shedding around 100 of its equity partners.
