Trevor James UK firm Bird & Bird has gone on a recruitment spree, poaching lateral hires in the UK and France. In the UK the firm has lured the former City head of tax at DLA to its London office. Trevor James joined the firm on July 1 after seven years at DLA. His recruitment follows the establishment of a tax team in Paris in June with a group of Andersen Legal lawyers, and earlier this year the firm also set up a tax practice in the Hague with another Andersen team. There is also a new office in Germany staffed with ex-Andersen employees, and it is likely that there will be further expansion of the tax practice.

Allen & Overy has lost its head of tax in the US to rival Baker & McKenzie. Robert DeJoy has joined the New York office of Baker & McKenzie as a tax partner focusing on international planning, controversy and transaction work. Dejoy was a senior tax partner in the New York office of Arnold & Porter before joining Allen & Overy two years, ago. He has been approached by Baker & McKenzie several times over the last few years, but decided this year that his practice warranted a more extensive international network than available at Allen & Overy. Serious discussions between Dejoy and Baker & McKenzie were underway for three or four months before Dejoy joined the firm.
