Has left.

A&O’s annual report has been published – The Lawyer points out that £2.3m went to its top earner this year but the sum included a termination payment. The departed partner got £200,000 more than that paid to the highest-earning partner the previous financial year, who also happened to be a leaver.

The report also shows it has paid out £19.6m to staff who have left as a result of the job cuts, with £26.4m going to affected partners – a total of 450 members of staff and 37 full equity partners left the firm as a result of its restructuring programme.
