Dechert is on track to boost its City corporate practice as it nears the hire of former Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer leadership contender Malcolm Lombers.
Lombers, who joined HSF in 1997 and made partner six years later, is a London Legal 500 Hall of Famer for partnership law. He also has extensive experience in public takeovers and cross border M&A. Several sources told LB that Lombers is expected to join Dechert in Q1 next year.
