Vinson & Elkins Bolsters New York, Global Offices
Houston-based Vinson & Elkins announced Monday a realignment that will strengthen its presence in New York and abroad. Seven partners will relocate to New York to focus on capital markets and M&A while others will move to London, the Middle East and Asia. The firm also is bringing on a new hire in Hong Kong, former Linklaters partner Christopher Walker. Growth at Vinson & Elkins has only recently become feasible, as aftershocks from its ties to the Enron debacle subside.
