US firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher has hired a former Andersen partner for its Paris office. Marie-Hélène Raffin will join the firm as a partner in October this year. At the time of going to press, Raffin was working at Cabinet Archibald International, the present name for what was Andersen Legal in France. Andersen is in the early stages of integrating with Ernst & Young there, though a substantial number of tax professionals have joined Deloitte & Touche and other law firms.
