Mayer Brown has hired a further two partners in its London banking and finance group, with the recruitment of Berwin Leighton Paisner partner Trevor Wood and White & Case senior associate Mayank Gupta, who joins as partner.

The pair – who are expected to join by the end of the calendar year – bring Mayer Brown’s senior lateral hire count to six in the last month, and follow the appointments of securitisation partners Richard Todd and David O’Connor from BLP and Allen & Overy respectively.
