Willkie Farr & Gallagher has recruited a five-partner investment management practice from Shearman & Sterling. The high-profile group, led by Washington, D.C., partner Barry Barbash, is the largest Willkie has ever brought aboard and specializes in advising hedge funds and mutual funds. The move is a blow to Shearman, as Barbash had been regarded as one of the firm's top rainmakers. He represented fund group Legg Mason in its $3.7 billion acquisition of Citigroup's mutual fund business last year.
