The past week saw Monckton Chambers attract a five-barrister public law team led by Ian Wise QC from Doughty Street Chambers, as Arnold & Porter launched a City financial services practice with the hire of Katten Muchin Rosenman’s Tim Aron, Dentons grew its Hong Kong finance practice with the hire of Jeff Chen from Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft and Mayer Brown established a corporate and securities practice in its Palo Alto office with a dual partner relocation.
Wise joins as a new tenant alongside Azeem Suterwalla, Steve Broach, Nikolaus Grubeck and Conor McCarthy. The group practices across a range of administrative law, civil liberties, human rights and international law. Monckton has sought to expand its administrative & public law set in recent years and has specialised in handling freedom of information, data protection and privacy, environmental law and financial services mandates.
