Eversheds is expanding its Paris office as part of the firm's drive to extend its presence in Europe
Its hirings – a new partner, a consultant and two assistant solicitors – are the first since Eversheds acquired the Paris office by taking over more than half of Frere Cholmeley Bischoff in May 1998.
All four recruits are French-qualified lawyers.
Antoine Vivant joins Eversheds as a partner from labour law specialists Barthelemy & Associes.
He will develop the firm's employment practice and head up a team of employment lawyers.
Brigitte Camboly is appointed as a consultant practising international law.
She was an international tax partner with Ernst & Young and Deloitte & Touche in Paris for 13 years. She then joined Baudel Biscontin & Camboly, where she was based for two years.
Vanessa Lehman, from Barthelemy & Associes, and Beatrice Barbier-Ekerlin, from Baudel Biscontin and Camboly, also join.
Alan Jenkins, head of Eversheds' European practice, said the firm was particularly pleased to have recruited Vivant.
"Employment issues in France are complicated and sensitive – he comes with a wealth of experience."
Jenkins said the firm wanted to "increase its presence and profile in France and is planning to extend its office in Paris further to reflect the on-going need".
"I am confident we will be adding to the team in weeks rather than months," he added.
He also confirmed that the firm plans to extend further into Europe.
"We are delighted with our progression. Our plans are to deepen and develop our network in Europe."
