McDermott Will & Emery is taking talent from a pair of global juggernauts to break further into international employment law, bringing on five lawyers from Dentons and one from Baker McKenzie to build up that practice group.

The additions—Brian Cousin, Neil Capobianco, Lindsay Ditlow, Richard Scharlat and Mark Meredith from Dentons and Carole Spink from Baker McKenzie—come a year and half after another key arrival. Michael Sheehan, the former co-chairman of DLA Piper’s global employment practice and chairman of its U.S. employment practice, joined McDermott in March 2018, launching the firm’s employment practice group as a stand-alone group.
