Baker McKenzie has secured two senior Ashurst equity capital markets specialists as the firm positions itself for an anticipated London markets revival. Simon Bullock and Stuart Rubin, who lead Ashurst's domestic and global securities operations respectively, will transition to their former colleague Nick Bryans' corporate finance team.
The departures strike Ashurst as the firm finalizes its $2.7 billion combination with American practice Perkins Coie. Bullock and Rubin bring extensive experience across initial public offerings, block trades, and complex corporate restructurings to Baker McKenzie's largest global office.
Baker McKenzie's London hub has absorbed ten partners throughout the year, drawing talent from CMS, Mishcon de Reya, and Latham & Watkins. The firm's transactional capabilities have expanded dramatically as capital markets activity shows signs of strengthening after years of sluggish performance.
