In a grand gesture of sharing the bounty, Signature is dispersing an annual profit share of 18.9% amongst all firm members, closely mirroring last year’s share and slightly outdoing the 17.6% of 2021.
Boosting the Legal Arsenal
Not just basking in the financial limelight, Signature signaled its ambitions by welcoming a stalwart in international arbitration, Philipp Kurek, straight from the echelons of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. This maestro, adept in navigating disputes between states and investors, has often been the face representing clients at prestigious platforms like the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
Having mastered the art of commercial arbitration claims, Kurek’s portfolio spans industries like finance, tech, telecom, and real estate.
Graham Huntley, the visionary behind Signature, emphasized, “Kurek’s induction is a testament to our goal of organic growth complemented by judicious hires.”
Starting his legal odyssey with Kirkland & Ellis in 2011, Kurek swiftly climbed the ranks, cementing his partnership status by 2017. Enthused about his new chapter at Signature, he lauded its unique, disputes-only platform as a beacon for global clientele.
