Legal Week reports that Latham & Watkins has lured M&A partner Andrew Macklin from White & Case‘s Doha office, the 13th partner to leave the firm for Latham in the past two weeks.

The defections began on Jan. 29 when Latham took the bulk of W&C’s U.K. banking practice by hiring four highly regarded banking and capital markets partners. Last week, Latham hired another eight W&C partners from the firm’s offices in London, New York, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh.
