Clifford Chance (CC) has added to its New York office with the hire of a restructuring partner from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
Rick Antonoff has joined CC's financial restructuring team, which is part of the US restructuring group headed up by New York partner Andrew Brozman.
Antonoff's practice focuses on insolvency and restructuring as well as commercial litigation.
He was an associate with both Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison and Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft before joining Greenberg Traurig as a partner in 2002. He has been a partner at Pillsbury since 2005.
CC's Americas managing partner Craig Medwick commented: "Adding Rick to our team at this juncture supports our strategy of focusing on our areas of strength, and our financial restructuring team certainly qualifies on that count. Despite improvement in the US economy, we anticipate that restructuring will continue to be an area of focus for the next several years."
Antonoff said: "CC has an attractive brand, innovative thinkers and a broad platform that supports complex international and domestic restructurings. I am looking forward to working with the group and being part of its continuing growth strategy."
In New York, Antonoff marks the fourth partner addition this month with three made up in CC's annual promotions round as of 1 May.
CC's Americas practice has 320 lawyers in total, including 65 partners. Out of those, 10 advise on restructuring.
The news comes as CC energy specialist Nick Dingemans joins City rival Norton Rose in Moscow. Dingemans was a counsel in CC's Russian corporate and energy group, but joins Norton Rose as a partner.
Seperately, CC has lost its Moscow dispute resolution head Ivan Marisin to Dechert. Marisin will join the firm's Moscow arm. This comes a month after the firm relocated its litigation partner Nick Munday to Moscow to head up the Moscow team as well as its firmwide insurance litigation practice.
