Morrison and Foerster, which has been expanding its global investigations, compliance and white-collar defence practice, has recruited two compliance specialists as partners from WilmerHale in Berlin.

Roland Steinmeyer and Patrick Späth specialise in corporate governance and compliance issues. Steinmeyer is known as a leading adviser to German blue-chip companies and is counsel to carmaker Daimler AG's supervisory board for the investigations by German and U.S. authorities into diesel emissions.

"Roland and Patrick have extensive experience advising management and supervisory boards on global compliance and government enforcement issues and on structuring compliance programmes, further strengthening our ability to support clients across multiple jurisdictions and industries," Paul Friedman, Morrison & Foerster's managing partner for Europe and head of the firm's compliance practice, said in a statement.
