In a relatively subdued week for the London lateral market, Goodwin Procter and Shoosmiths made the only noteworthy hires in the City.
Goodwin secured a prominent hire to its private equity group, recruiting CMS’ private equity head James Grimwood to its London office. Grimwood has experience in advising on M&A, joint ventures and corporate reorganisations. He has acted on private equity transactions for institutions and management teams.
