Clifford Chance has hired the global co-head of DLA Piper's investment funds practice to its office in New York.

David Goldstein, who joined DLA in 2011 from White & Case, also co-leads DLA's U.S. investment funds practice.

"With David's arrival, our U.S. private funds team continues to grow along with our clients," said Roger Singer, CC's Americas private funds & investment management group head.

"As our clients continue to mature from initial fund raisings to the establishment of larger, more complex funds, David's reputation and strong relationships will help us unlock opportunities and further expand our capabilities advising fund sponsors," he added.

The firm last made a significant boost to its New York office in July 2019, when it bolstered its base with financial restructuring lawyer Michelle McGreal from Davis Polk & Wardwell as a partner.

Earlier on Monday, fellow Magic Circle firm Allen & Overy boosted its New York base with the hire of Norton Rose Fulbright partner and head of the firm's New York intellectual property disputes Peter Keller. His hire is the latest for A&O as it looks to bolster its U.S. offering following the collapse of merger talks with O'Melveny & Myers.
