Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer announced on Wednesday that it has hired three mergers and acquisitions lawyers from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton to its New York office, just over a month after four high-profile partners made a similar move.

Andrea Basham, Elizabeth ‘Leza’ Bieber and Zheng ‘Jonathan’ Zhou were all hired as counsel, Freshfields said. The lawyers, who respectively had been counsel, an associate and a senior lawyer at Cleary, are also joined by Chase Lax, who moved to Freshfields as an associate, the new firm said.
