Shearman & Sterling has lost another partner from its Munich office, with Thomas Fox set to join US rival Latham & Watkins.

Fox’s departure comes one month after the firm lost two partners to A&O, which effectively halved the size of the office. Office head Gottfried Breuninger – German tax head and global co-head of the tax practice group – then left to launch A&O’s Munich base along with M&A partner Astrid Krueger.
