LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae has boosted its Paris corporate tax practice by hiring a four-lawyer team from SJ Berwin. The team is headed by Jean Goncalves, who was one of the founding members of the UK firm’s French office.

Goncalves, who specialises in corporate tax, made the switch last week after almost five years with SJ Berwin. Prior to joining the top 20 UK firm, he was European tax director for GE Medical Systems (now GE Healthcare), a division of General Electric.
