Duane Morris has relaunched its London employment practice with the hire of partner Elena Cooper from the U.K. base of Canadian firm Fasken Martineau.

Cooper, who advises clients on transactional, contentious and human resources advisory issues, joined Duane Morris on Tuesday. All told, the Philadelphia-based firm employs about 60 employment lawyers but hasn’t had a full-time employment partner in London since 2008, when Tola Ogundimu left to become a solo practitioner. Duane Morris opened its London office in 2000.
