In a strategic move that highlights the continued expansion within the European legal market, former partners from Davis Polk & Wardwell have teamed up with the ex-head of Italian practice at Scotto Partners to establish a new M&A and private equity boutique firm, Aurès. This new venture will have offices based in Paris and Milan, aiming to carve a niche within these competitive markets.
