More partners exit Baker McKenzie amid integration talks

Partners have continued to desert law firm Baker McKenzie, with the global firm in discussions to take greater control over its Australian outpost amid cost-cutting measures and a drop-off in results.

Pro bono practice head Kate Gillingham and banking partner Alastair Gourlay both handed in their resignations recently, continuing a string of departures. Mr Gourlay is expected to pop up at American rival Jones Day.
