TMT specialist Bird & Bird has clinched a second round of partners for the launch of its Hague office after making three lateral hires.

Last month the London-based firm secured Amsterdam corporate partner Harry Rek from Dutch firm Houthoff Buruma, to launch its first Dutch law practice. This has been followed by two more hires from Houthoff of telecoms partner Marjolein Geus and IP litigation partner Wouter Pors, both from the firm’s Hague office.
