City recruitment clearly slowed down last week but Alston & Bird managed to add to its relatively new City branch while Signature Litigation partner Simon Bushell leaves the firm after three years.
Atlanta-based Alston & Bird has hired structured finance partner James Fisher from Reed Smith to its finance practice in London. He has experience advising corporate trust and agency clients on the full gamut of deals, including securitisations and CDOs. He also focuses on post-closing matters such as restructurings, defaults, remediations and exercises of discretion.
