Hunton Andrews Kurth has made further hires from Winston & Strawn to build out its global energy and infrastructure offering.
The three new hires are across the firm's London and Dubai bases, and follow the hire of long-standing Winston partner Scott DeVries in May.
Partner duo James Simpson and Jason Parker have joined Hunton's London office while special counsel Martin Skehill has joined the Dubai base.
The trio's arrival follows that of former colleague Scott DeVries, who had been at Winston for over 13 years and left for Hunton's San Francisco base last month.
Simpson has been a partner at Winston's London office for five years, while Parker has been a partner there for three years, according to LinkedIn.
Co-head of Hunton's energy and infrastructure practice, Jeffrey Schroeder, said in a statement: "Jim, Jason and Martin help round out our global team, which is very busy right now, and they bring key experience advising clients on a wide range of significant international projects.
"Their addition enhances the capabilities of our firm's broad-based energy team in London and the Middle East."
Earlier this year, Hunton also bolstered its Washington, D.C. office with the hire of veteran government antitrust attorney Kevin Hahm.
