Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has strengthened its Washington DC arm with the hire of Morgan Lewis & Bockius antitrust partner Robert Schlossberg.

Schlossberg joins the five-partner outpost in the magic circle firm’s antitrust, competition and trade group, which the top UK firm launched in the US in May 2002 with the appointment to partnership of Paul Yde and MJ Moltenbrey.
