US law firm Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) has brought in six lawyers from HFW to beef up its new shipping and commodities group as demand booms in the pandemic.
The Washington DC-headquartered company founded the division in November by recruiting two Reed Smith partners.
Now it has added two more partners in the shape of Chris Swart and Katie Pritchard, plus director John Rollason, senior associate Gabriella Martin, and associates Joseph Magoon and Patrick Greaney.
