Cooley’s London office has been given a significant boost with the addition of Jenner & Block’s international arbitration practice chair and former London head, Charlie Lightfoot. Lightfoot, who joins Cooley after eight years at fellow U.S. outfit Jenner & Block, was originally brought in by the U.S. litigation specialists in 2015 to launch and subsequently lead the new London office.
In January, Jenner appointed investigations partner Christine Braamskamp as new London managing partner, after Lightfoot who had held the role for seven years, stood down.
