King & Spalding’s London office has hired Linklaters partner Tom O’Neill and Latham & Watkins counsel Markus Bauman to its European capital markets practice.

The recruitment of the two US-qualified securities lawyers means King & Spalding has added four new partners in the City in just over a month, following the hire of Bingham McCutchen restructuring partner Elisabeth Baltay and the promotion of arbitration lawyer Ruth Byrne.
