New York’s Dewey Ballantine has hired Hunton & Williams’ London office managing partner Stephen Horvath as well as taking another four partners from the US firm’s Warsaw office.

Horvath’s hire is the latest expansion of Deweys’ London office over the last two months, following the appointment of a partner from Weil Gotshal & Manges to launch the firm’s German practice and the hire of project finance solicitor Jonathan Simpson from Allen & Overy. Both joined as partners.
