In another Big Law move this week, Baker Botts hired Avner Bengera, who was the chair of Hughes Hubbard & Reed‘s M&A group, as a partner in the corporate department in New York and co-head of cross-border M&A.

Baker Botts managing partner John Martin wrote in a press release that Bengera’s cross-border M&A experience meshes with the firm’s growth strategy in New York, as well as the firm’s global M&A practice.
