In a notable shift within the legal industry, Freshfields has made significant hires by acquiring an infrastructure-focused partner duo from Paul Hastings. This includes Jessamy Gallagher, the former global co-head of corporate at Paul Hastings. Gallagher will now take on the role of global co-head of Freshfields’ energy and real assets group, jointly with Richard Thexton. Another key addition to Freshfields is Staurt Rowson, further strengthening their energy and infrastructure practice group. Both Gallagher and Rowson had only recently joined Paul Hastings from Linklaters in 2023.
