Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson’s London office has sealed the hire of private equity partner Daniel Oates from O’Melveny & Myers.

Oates spent just under a year at O’Melveny, having joined its London office as a partner in February last year. Before that he was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, working alongside Fried Frank’s new City managing partner and head of private equity in Europe, Graham White, who left Kirkland last year to join his current firm.
