For anyone getting a bit sick of hearing how Linklaters are winning at everything , this won’t help. Following on from our last post about the firm – which saw Linklaters retain its place as the largest corporate practice in the UK bringing in £453.3m in fees during 2008-09 – here’s another piece of news for them to annoy their competitors with. Linklaters has joined Slaughter and May at the top of the Hemscott rankings of legal advisers to FTSE 100 companies, with both firms listed as advising 25 of the UK’s biggest companies says Legal Week .

This is the first time Linklaters has manged to equal rival Slaughter and May on this particular front – maybe a sign that the firm’s version of a new world will be one in which they dominate even more than the old world.
