 TLT Articles Adam Signy's departure from Clifford Chance (CC) may have been well-trailed in the Square Mile, but all the forewarning in the world is unlikely to have lessened the blow for CC.
Adam Signy_CC_p17.jpgNot only was Signy generally considered to be the top name in the magic circle firm's public M&A practice, but his move marks the best corporate CV to hit a US firm's London office since Mike Francies joined Weil Gotshal & Manges way back in 1998.
The fact that Signy (pictured) is CC born and raised - having spent some 22 years as a partner - only drums home the symbolism; particularly since the last time CC was in this position it managed to hold on to private equity duo James Baird and Matthew Layton, who came within a whisker of joining Weil Gotshal in 2004.
