Morgan, Lewis & Bockius is opening its first Abu Dhabi office with an eight-lawyer team hire from Squire Patton Boggs. The move coincides with an additional seven-lawyer hire from the same firm in the U.S.
Four partners, four associates and 13 support staff will join Morgan Lewis in the Middle East for the new base, which will open on March 1 and will be led by former Squire Abu Dhabi office head Bill Nash. It will include funds partner Alishia Sullivan and corporate partners Mark Gilligan and Jay Gladis.
