Major Development at Testa???
The other board is reporting that John Hession is leaving Testa for McDermott. This would have to be the beginning of the end for Testa, since if Hession can bring half as much business with him as I suspect, Testa would need to make some deep partner level cuts that would, I'm sure, begin having an impact on client service. I hear morale over there is already pretty miserable. And I can't believe McDermott has an appetite for service partners (though I could see them absorbing some talented associates).
Hard to imagine McD's star player in the vc realm, Egan (a good lawyer with a great ego) putting up with Hession (a great lawyer with an only somewhat more modest ego), but maybe Hession's company side practice is sufficiently distinct so they won't come to blows.
(Edited only to add an "only" I forgot).
