Weil Gotshal & Manges has secured the hire of Clifford Chance (CC) senior associates Stephen Fox and David Irvine to join the London funds team recently recruited from the magic circle firm.

The US firm last month (13 June) announced the hire of a four-partner funds team comprising CC partners Ed Gander, Nigel Clark and Nick Benson, as well as tax partner Jonathan Kandel, who works closely with the funds team.
