Simpson Thacher & Bartlett’s London office has grown with the hiring of Richard Hanson as a partner in its securitisation and structured products practice. Hanson joins the team from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, where he spent a short nine-month stint after leaving Morgan Lewis & Bockius.
Commenting on the hire, European managing partner Wheatly MacNamara said: ‘Rick’s experience and deep understanding across each of the investment funds, real estate, energy and infrastructure markets makes him an excellent complement to our robust corporate team in London.’
