Briefly

"The team of departees includes partner and former head of EY's energy services team Charles Morrison, three other partners, a counsel, a consultant, and five associates."
"Hunton Andrews Kurth's managing partner, said that the group 'aligns well with our international growth strategy, which is focused on ensuring that we've achieved critical mass in key practices, in core industry focus areas and in geographies where client demand is strong.'"
"Ferdinand Calice, managing partner of Hunton Andrews Kurth's London office, said the energy-focused corporate and disputes teams in London had 'experienced tremendous growth' in the past year."
"The team's move also plays into a wider trend in the industry - the growing presence of US law firms in the UK. Firms like Latham & Watkins have been building their UK teams in order to leverage their American client bases in Europe."
