While Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling continue to see lateral exits in the lead-up to their merger next month, both firms are still adding lateral partners in the U.S.
Both firms announced lateral hires on Monday. Shearman added Carolyn Stoner, former counsel at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, as a partner in its real estate practice in New York. Allen & Overy said it added Washington, D.C.-based Susan Gault-Brown, who was a partner at Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young’s investment management practice and who chaired its fintech sub-practice. Gault-Brown is joining its U.S. funds and asset management team.
