Last month, Eversheds Sutherland hired a global finance co-lead from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London.

Earlier this year, UK-based Osborne Clarke and Linklaters picked up three finance partners each, and NY-based Schulte Roth & Zabel hired a finance and derivatives partner from Dentons in the UK capital.

Morgan Lewis added structured finance partner Merryn Craske from Mayer Brown in London in February.

The 2,000-attorney firm also added structured finance partners Steven Becker and Alex Velinsky from Hunton Andrews Kurth in the U.S. earlier this month.

A spokesperson for Orrick wished Hanson well on Friday.
