Boies, Schiller & Flexner and Cooley, two Am Law 100 firms that opened London offices in recent years, took steps this month to growth those nascent outposts.

MATTHEW GETZ, an international counsel in the London office of Debevoise & Plimpton, which this month announced expansion plans in Tokyo, has joined Boies Schiller as a partner in its global disputes and regulatory practice in London. Boies Schiller opened its London office in 2013 and quickly added a local leader after raiding now-defunct Bingham McCutchen.
