Weil secures Clifford Chance London partner as it signals European antitrust expansion 14 May 2021 Jenine Hulsmann is second magic circle partner recruit this year following Slaughters hire in February The City of London Shutterstock Weil Gotshal & Manges has hired antitrust partner Jenine Hulsmann from Clifford Chance in London – its second senior lateral hire from a UK Magic Circle firm within a matter of months. Hulsmann’s appointment follows that of longstanding corporate partner Murray Cox from Slaughter and May in February. Although she is a replacement for the long-serving London competition head, Doug Nave, who retired this year, the firm signalled its ambition to take advantage of her arrival to build up its antitrust capability in Europe, which does not have the same profile as its New York practice.
