Fabrice Cohen, Clifford Chance Alex Bafi, Clifford Chance In London the most active firm in the past month turned out to be JONES DAY. The US firm has been steadily adding to its ranks for the past year but late summer saw a flurry of hires across the finance and corporate teams. Arguably the most high-profile addition was that of high-yield specialist Jonathan Bloom who joined from Ropes & Gray. The New York qualified partner was a founding member of Ropes & Gray's London base in 2009. Joining him at Jones Day are M&A specialist Benedict O'Halloran, who moved from an in-house position at GE, and structured finance and securitisation partner Neil Hamilton who made the switch from Paul Hastings. Another high-yield partner on the move was Gil Strauss. The former Weil Gotshal partner re-joined SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT at the end of August. Strauss had only been with Weil since 2012, and with his previous firm – Freshfields – for two years having moved from Simpson Thacher in 2010.
