Morrison & Foerster has brought on private equity and mergers and acquisitions partner Omar Pringle from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

The partner hire in New York, announced Thursday, represents a second U.S. exit from Freshfields within weeks. Morrison & Foerster in April added Mitchell Presser, head of Freshfields’ U.S. M&A and global transactions, to co-chair its global corporate department.
