Jones Day is the latest firm to profit from Coudert Brothers’ demise by recruiting partner Geoffroy de Foestraets from its Brussels office. The move follows Baker & McKenzie’s hiring of 25 US partners, including chairman Clyde Rankin and most of the major department heads.

De Foestraets, who previously led Coudert’s media and telecoms department, becomes the sixth partner in Jones Day’s Brussels office.
