U.S. law firm Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom has strategically enhanced its London practice by hiring Patrick O’Gara, a seasoned tax partner from Baker McKenzie. O’Gara, who has spent over two decades with Baker McKenzie, will spearhead Skadden’s tax controversy group in the UK capital, marking a significant personnel development for the firm.
This shift comes shortly after private equity expert Bruce Embley announced his departure to join Clifford Chance, indicating a period of notable movement within major law firms. More details on this development can be found in the Law.com International article.
