Simmons & Simmons' Germany banking head is leaving to join Kaye Scholer in a double partner hire for the US firm.
Ingrid Kalisch and fellow partner Sandra Pfister will exit Simmons next week to join Kaye Scholer's German banking and finance practice in Frankfurt on 1 July.
Kalisch, who heads up Simmons' Germany banking group, has been at the UK top 20 firm since 2003. She specialises in acquisition finance, project finance, transactional banking, secured and unsecured lending and syndicated and bilateral loan agreements.
She has acted on a number of major deals including taking a key role as part of the team which advised HSBC in 2006 as financier and investment bank to E.ON on its €29bn (£20bn) bid for energy company Endesa, after the banking giant's entire global panel was conflicted out.
Pfister, who joined Simmons in 2005 and made partner in 2007, specialises in structured and corporate finance, including acquisition finance, project finance and debt restructurings.
Pfister said: "Joining Kaye Scholer was a natural fit for my lending and acquisition finance practice."
The moves come after Simmons' Germany private equity head Jan Wildberger left the firm to join German independent P+P Poellath + Partners in January this year.
Other recent hires for Kaye Scholer have included hire of Hogan Lovells securities head Katherine Mulhern and DLA Piper corporate partner Sean Scanlon, who joined the US firm's London base at the end of last year.
