DWF continues investment in international business with 15
senior hires in two months
Majed A. Almarshad becomes DWF's 15th senior hire in its
international business in a two-month period, joining as a partner
in its Dubai office.
The recruits - which include 14 partners and one director -
reflect DWF's focus on international growth. DWF's international
business has grown strongly, increasing its headcount and
geographical footprint, most recently in Poland. The Company has
continued to invest to further strengthen its international
proposition and the success of its recruitment demonstrates the
attractiveness of DWF's platform.
Almarshad, a Saudi-qualified lawyer, joins the expanding Dubai
office as a commercial partner from AlDahbashi Gray. He joins two
other recent appointments in Dubai. Slava Kiryushin joined earlier
this month from CMS as a partner and head of the global energy and
industrials sector and Thenji Moyo Macanda joined from Taylor
Wessing as co-head of the employment practice.
This latest partner appointment follows a series of hires across
DWF's international business since early September. Last month, DWF
opened its 4th office in Germany through the recruitment of a team
of 10 people, including five partners, from Marccus Partners in
Düsseldorf. Norbert Knüppel heads up the team as executive partner,
working alongside partners Christof Bremer, Jörn Albrecht, Michael
Schley and Norbert Knittlmayer.
In Australia, Kim O'Reilly joined DWF's fast-growing Sydney
office from Mills Oakley as a principal lawyer* in the corporate
practice.
In Warsaw, partner Pawel Stykowski joined as partner and head of
insurance and Tomasz Kaczmarek was appointed as a banking and
finance partner. Stykowski and Kaczmarek joined from Eversheds
Sutherland and Baker & McKenzie respectively.
In Paris, Alexandre Piette joined DWF from Viguié Schmidt &
Associés as a corporate partner and Vincent Lazimi from Vaslin
Associés as a partner and tax specialist. Elsewhere in Europe,
Daniel Scanlon was appointed as an insurance partner in Dublin,
joining from Kennedys and Luca Lo Pò has joined from GLG &
Partners as a partner and head of financial services and capital
markets in Milan.
Andrew Leaitherland, Group CEO at DWF, said: "It's been a
significant period of recruitment for the business and we are
delighted to welcome such a strong group of senior people across
our international locations."
In addition to this period of significant international
recruitment, DWF has also continued to invest in the UK, including
the appointment of JP Buckley as a partner and head of data
protection based in the Manchester office. DWF also launched DWF
Regulatory Consulting, a Connected Services business, with the
appointment of Andrew Jacobs as partner and head of DWF Regulatory
Consulting and Darren Fisher as lead director.
