International disputes law firm Kobre & Kim has continued its string of recent hires with the addition of Daniel Saval, a cross-border insolvency partner who joins the firm's New York office from Brown Rudnick.

Saval's hire, which Kobre & Kim announced on Tuesday, makes him the fifth insolvency lawyer to join the firm this year. His addition also comes amid a period of expansion that helped land the firm—which focuses on international disputes and investigations involving allegations of fraud or misconduct—among the Am Law 200 for the first time this year.

Saval previously spent about 14 years at Brown Rudnick, serving most recently as a partner in that firm's bankruptcy and corporate restructuring and international disputes practices. He has a wide-ranging insolvency practice that has included work on Chapter 11, Chapter 15 and creditors rights' matters, and has represented ad hoc lender committees, as well as clients in the transportation, energy, financial, gaming, telecommunications and other sectors.
