Little has been made of the Corrs Chambers Westgarth partners who decided to cast a vote against CEO Gavin MacLaren’s needlessly early contract extension last month, in a move which puts him on track to be the highest paid corporate lawyer in the country into the 2030s. That’s because so few did.

At the time, Corrs said some 85 per cent of the 142-strong partnership green-lit the five-year extension proposed by the firm’s board, led by Stephen Price.
