Private Prosecutions, Runaway Mergers and the Race for Space

This week, Linzi (  / linzigoldthorpe  ) and Ben (  / ben-girdlestone-a5219715  ) unpack claims that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest was triggered by a report based on media coverage compiled by Republic, as the campaign group pushes for a private prosecution of the former royal and questions swirl over the evidential and political backdrop. They also examine Taylor Wessing’s hunt for external investors to back its start-up funding vehicle Outpace, and what it signals about law firms’ growing appetite for alternative capital and tech-enabled growth strategies. The pair then turn to why mega law firm mergers fall apart – and how much firms actually get paid when transformative tie-ups collapse – before heading to New York, where the law firm space race is intensifying and Linklaters is expanding its office footprint by more than 50%. Finally, they discuss a closely watched court case on whether bankers can be fired for demanding sleep, and a £1m claim brought by homeowners against a developer over a badly fitted lavatory, exploring what both disputes reveal about workplace culture, liability and the limits of employer responsibility.
