Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, a firm that somewhat infrequently dips into the lateral market, has quietly picked up a pair of partners from Latham & Watkins, which was left reeling this week by the sudden departure of its former global chairman William Voge.

Earlier this month, Simpson Thacher added Latham’s Eli Hunt as a partner for its M&A, energy and infrastructure practices in New York. Hunt’s arrival comes a few months after the firm picked up Latham fund formation partner David Greene for its investment funds practice in Washington, D.C.
