Agnès Dunogué has transitioned from A&O Shearman to Freshfields, where she will significantly contribute to the firm's securities litigation practice. Freshfields’ Mary Eaton recognizes Dunogué's potential to advance the team’s growth in the U.S. This move represents ongoing competition among UK-founded law firms to attract top talent in the U.S. market. Additionally, there is a noticeable trend of litigators departing from Biglaw firms that made deals perceived as supportive of Donald Trump's administration, with A&O identified among those firms.
Freshfields' co-head of securities and shareholder litigation, Mary Eaton, emphasized the importance of Agnès Dunogué's move, stating, 'She will be a key driver in the next phase of the team's growth in the US.'
The multinational law firms originating from the UK, like Freshfields and A&O, are actively recruiting talent in key US markets to assert their dominance.
A significant wave of seasoned litigators is leaving Biglaw firms that made controversial deals under Donald Trump's presidency, with A&O Shearman identified as a capitulating firm.
Freshfields is aiming to strengthen its guidance for public company and financial clients with seasoned experts like Dunogué, who has substantial experience with high-profile clients.
