The London arm of New York’s Chadbourne & Parke has made a rare senior UK hire with the appointment of Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw corporate and telecoms partner David Levin.

Levin, who was previously a partner at Pinsent Curtis (now Pinsents), joined Mayer Brown & Platt’s London office in 1999 and won the US firm the UK utilities giant Centrica as a client in 2000. He is set to join his new firm at the end of July.
Chadbournes currently has three UK-qualified, six US-qualified and two dual-qualified partners in its 23-lawyer London office.
