Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer continues its U.S. corporate practice expansion with the strategic recruitment of two prominent New York lawyers: Jacqueline “Jackie” Marino from Davis Polk & Wardwell as a capital markets partner, and Joshua Ayal from Kirkland & Ellis as a mergers and acquisitions partner. The firm has made significant strides in the highly competitive U.S. M&A and corporate space, a sector where other international firms have often struggled to gain a substantial foothold.
According to Damien Zoubek, Freshfields’ co-head of U.S. corporate and mergers and acquisitions, “What we are trying to build here is something that will sustain generationally.” This statement underscores the firm’s long-term vision and commitment to solidifying its presence in the U.S. market through strategic lateral hires, ensuring continued growth and client service excellence.
