In a strategic move to bolster its litigation capabilities, Linklaters has successfully expanded its team with the addition of 11 litigators from Patterson Belknap. This comes on the heels of the firm hiring four partners from the same firm in the previous month. The latest intake includes five associates and two counsel, indicating a focused investment in litigation prowess.
Notably, the new team members will collaborate closely with a partner team fronted by Adeel Mangi, a prominent figure nominated for a federal appeals court judge position by former President Joe Biden. Among the new counsel at Linklaters are Sara Arrow and Julia Long. This expansion underscores Linklaters’ ambition to fortify its position in the competitive legal arena, particularly in the area of litigation.
