Correction, 5/27/14, 11 a.m. EDT: The original version of this story included incorrect information about which office Anke Sessler will be based in when she joins Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meager & Flom as an international arbitration and litigation partner in September. Sessler will be based in Frankfurt. The 32nd paragraph of this article has been revised to include the correct information. We regret the error.

Squire Sanders—whose pursuit of a possible tie-up with Patton Boggs may have gained steam this week with the announcement that the latter is exiting a high-profile toxic tort case by reaching a $15 million settlement with energy giant Chevron—has already been active on the lateral hiring front this year.
