Eversheds Sutherland Italy has hired a banking and finance partner from a Shearman & Sterling-affiliated firm in Milan, the latest in a flurry of exits after Shearman’s recent merger with Allen & Overy.

Pasquale Bifulco, who started at Eversheds on Monday, arrives from Studio Legale Associato Shearman & Sterling, where he was a partner, with a team including a senior associate and an associate hired from another firm.
