Fieldfisher and Debevoise & Plimpton are the latest to hire from King & Wood Mallesons‘ (KWM) ailing European practice. Fieldfisher hired technology partner James Walsh, whilst Debevoise announced it is taking on private equity lawyer Simon Witney as a consultant.
Walsh joined KWM in June 2015 alongside three others from Eversheds, in a move by the firm to rebuild its City offering after an early string of post-merger exits. He previously headed Eversheds’ international telecoms practice.
