Liesl Fichardt, head of the tax investigations and disputes practice at Clifford Chance in London, is leaving the Magic Circle firm to join Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan in the city.

Fichardt joins Quinn Emanuel’s fast-growing London office, which opened in 2008, after having spent more than three years at Clifford Chance. She headed to the global legal giant in September 2013 from Berwin Leighton Paisner, a British firm she joined roughly a decade ago from Dorsey & Whitney’s London office.
