DLA Piper has been active on the lateral hiring front this year, but the global legal giant saw three finance lawyers leave its robust ranks this week for Clifford Chance and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
Clifford Chance, a Magic Circle firm in the midst of a firmwide review of its operations, announced Tuesday its hire of DLA Piper banking and finance partner Gianluca Bacchiocchi, who joined the latter's Chicago office in 2009 from Mayer Brown. Bacchiocchi will now work out of Clifford Chance's New York office, where he'll be a member of the London-based firm's Americas practice focused on advising sponsors and underwriters on cross-border work emanating from Latin America.
Also on the move are DLA Piper project finance partner Nicolai Sarad and of counsel Fernando Rodriguez-Marin, who have joined Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman as partners in New York. Both lawyers had been at DLA Piper for more than a decade, where they represented developers, financial institutions, investors and government agencies on project development and finance matters.
