In 1959, Michael Simkins, then a fledgeling City lawyer, met a talent agent, Leslie Grade, brother of Lew and father of Michael.
He began to represent a group of up-and-coming entertainers and, fascinated by the business of the music and film industries, he started to build a group of clients from that world.
With their encouragement, he set up his own firm in 1962.
The firm grew through the sixties and seventies.
The Simkins Partnership became one of a small number of niche practices specialising in the legal and business side of the media and entertainment industries and gained an unparalleled reputation for outstanding deal-making, uncompromising toughness and total confidentiality and discretion for its glamorous clientle.
