King & Spalding has hired Geneviève Michaux to join the firm's Brussels office as a partner focusing on life sciences.

Michaux joins from Mayer Brown's Brussels office, where she worked since July 2016. Before that, she was at Hunton & Williams in the city for three years.

Michaux is King & Spalding's latest hire in its Brussels office, which was opened this summer. In June, the firm hired Hervé Jouanjean, a former European Commission official, and Marie-Sophie Dibling for its trade practice.
