Dewey & LeBoeuf is set to see further departures from its European network, with its Moscow office defecting to Morgan Lewis & Bockius, which is also set to hire an additional three partners in London. Meanwhile a German corporate finance team is leaving to launch a Frankfurt office for McDermott Will & Emery.
The Moscow team, which includes six partners, will launch a local office for Morgan Lewis, with all staff in the office understood to have been offered a job by Morgan Lewis although no-one has formally resigned. In addition to the Moscow launch, Morgan Lewis is also set to take Dewey’s Almaty office with the hire of its sole partner Aset Shyngyssov.
