Reed Smith announced Wednesday that it has hired a three-partner tax team from Dentons led by David Hryck, who has handled charitable work for celebrities such as musician Wyclef Jean and model Petra Nemcova, while Crowell & Moring picked up a pair of government contracts partners from McKenna Long & Aldridge.
The lateral moves come as McKenna Long and Dentons continue to pursue a potential combination. As first reported by The Am Law Daily last week, the Am Law 100 firms are discussing a merger that could create a 3,100-lawyer entity that would be the world’s third-largest firm by attorney head count.
