Hogan Lovells has made a high-profile hire in its corporate team with the capture of former Allen & Overy partner Don McGown.
A partner at the magic circle firm since 1990, McGown has acted on a number of major M&A deals over the past two decades. Last year, he advised Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox on the $10bn (£6bn) spin-off of its publishing and newspaper arms.
