Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's Paris office has suffered another departure, with Norton Rose Fulbright's hire of tax partner Antoine Colonna d'Istria to its Paris office.
Colonna d'Istria had been a partner at Freshfields for 16 years and served as its Paris managing partner from 2007 to 2011.
Before that, he had led the magic circle firm's French tax practice from 2000.
Colonna d'Istriais is qualified in both France and the US and acts for French and foreign multinational groups on complex French and cross-border tax transactions. He specialises in corporate tax structuring, tax audits and tax litigation cases.
His departure from Freshfields' Paris office follows last month's four-partner team move to Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe.
Corporate partner Patrick Tardivy, finance partners Emmanuel Ringeval and Herve Touraine, and Paris employment head Emmanuel Benard were followed by associate Olivier Bernard, who joined Orrick as a partner.
That team move came a week after a four-strong team, led by partner Michael Schaefer, left Freshfields' Hamburg office to launch a boutique called Chatham Partners.
That team includes principal associate Felix Fischer, who joins the new firm as a partner, and associates Joyce von Marschall and Marieke Luedeke.
Legal Week understands more partners and lawyers may yet join Chatham Partners from Freshfields.
