April was yet another busy month for partner moves. London kicked off on April 1 with a series of departure announcements from Ashurst, Jones Day and DLA Piper. Ashurst lost all three of its London-based securities partners: Daniel Bushner, Eric Stuart and Marie Elena Angulo. The trio make up the entire US securities London team and although it has yet to be publically announced, the press has reported that at least Stuart and Angulo will be joining Jones Day. It was also reported that Ashurst was in the process of securing senior lateral hires to replace the group.
