The Washington, D.C. office of UK firm Clifford Chance has recruited three lateral partners from Sidley Austin. The litigation team consists of Juan Morillo, Steven Cottreau and Stephen Nickelsburg, whose work focuses primarily on white-collar crime and criminal defense, but also covers civil law. In addition to the Sidley laterals, Wendy Wysong, a senior lawyer with the US Government’s Bureau of Industry & Security has also joined the U.S. Litigation group as a partner. Clifford Chance has recently been putting a lot of effort into expanding its U.S. lawyer operation; hires have been made in New York and D.C.
