Corporate partner lateral moves continue at a fast clip in Texas, even as the economy has been troubled by the COVID-19 pandemic, with King & Spalding and Thompson & Knight among firms adding transactional lawyers.

Baker McKenzie partners Heath Trisdale and Michael Hamilton moved on Monday to King & Spalding in Houston, joining former colleague Jonathan Newton, who signed on at King & Spalding in August. All three are in the corporate, finance and investments practice group.
