Kevin Gold
Spear’s Review
Kevin Gold, chair of international at Mishcon de Reya, tells Spear’s that he embarked on a career in law by virtue of his South African heritage. ‘Coming from South Africa, there was always a passion for rule of law and justice for all.’ He began to work towards his dream of becoming a lawyer after being inspired by Perry Mason, a 1960s courtroom drama about a criminal defence attorney. ‘Somewhere in between Perry Mason and opportunity, I found law,’ he says.
Gold began his career at Lovell White Durant (now Hogan Lovells) and then joined a smaller legal practice, Bayer Rosin. In 1994, he inherited the firm but felt as though he ‘was too young and didn’t want to run the practice on his own’. He consequently chose to merge the firm with Mishcon and come on board as a managing partner.
Now having built a lifelong career at the legal giant, he focuses on building the company’s foreign relationships and pursuing strategic growth. The firm says that ‘under [Gold’s] leadership, the firm has seen more than a ten-fold growth in revenue’.
One of his standout achievements includes launching MDR Lab, ‘the first legal tech incubator and investment arm in the UK’, as well as ancillary businesses such as MDR Mayfair, a family office consultancy, and MDR Discover, a provider of e-discovery services.
