Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is poaching a top dealmaker from Cravath, Swaine & Moore, the latest offensive in a talent war among big law firms seeking to cash in on a boom in mergers and other transactions.
Damien Zoubek, who has been at Cravath since 1999, will join Freshfields as its co-head of corporate and mergers and acquisitions alongside Ethan Klingsberg, the firm said.
