In a recent development, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson (Fried Frank) has bolstered its team in London with the addition of a trio from Goodwin Procter.
The move arrives mere days following a similar strategic hire by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. The firm onboarded a disputes partner from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, indicative of the ongoing trend of vigorous hiring activity within US law firms operating in the British capital.
Regrettably, at the time of writing, exact details regarding the names and specialisations of the lawyers joining Fried Frank from Goodwin remain undisclosed. It’s evident, however, that this trend represents a crucial aspect of the competitive dynamic among the leading firms in London, as they strive to expand and reinforce their capabilities, increase their competitive advantage, and serve their clients better.
