Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton has hired corporate partner Michael Ulmer from Allen & Overy's (A&O) Frankfurt office, marking the second departure from that office this week.
German international capital markets group head, Oliver Seiler, joined Latham & Watkins on Monday (5 September).
Ulmer joined A&O as a partner in 2006 from German firm Hengeler Mueller.
Cleary managing partner Mark Leddy said: "Our German corporate and M&A practice has handled significant assignments for our domestic and international clients for many years. Adding Michael to our German practice will strengthen both our German and cross-border M&A offerings."
Other notable recent moves in Germany include Clifford Chance hiring King & Wood Mallesons' German head of funds Sonya Pauls last week (31 August).
Herbert Smith Freehills also boosted its recently launched Duesseldorf office last month, with the hire of corporate partner Christoph Nawroth from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
