We are back for a third edition of Legal Cheek’s new legal history podcast mini-series!

In this episode, former Allen & Overy partner Alan Paul looks back on his time as a top corporate dealmaker during the global financial crisis of 2007-08 and the chaos that ensued in the years after. In conversation with Legal Cheek publisher Alex Aldridge, Alan looks back on many of the factors that led to the crash, how it all went so wrong and the impact on the legal industry, both at the time and today.

This is a standalone podcast, but if you enjoyed it make sure to check out our previous episodes where Alan and Alex look back on corporate law in the 1980s and 90s.
