DLA Piper has recruited a new partner for its Paris office with the hire of Marc d’Haultfoeuille from Clifford Chance (CC).

D’Haultfoeuille, who made the switch last week (1 December), focuses on IT, media and telecoms, as well as commercial law. He had been a partner at CC since 2001 when he joined the magic circle firm from Salans. He also had a spell as in-house counsel at IT services company SEMA Group.
