Proskauer Boosts London Office With McDermott Hire

New York's Proskauer Rose has hired William Yonge as partner for its newly opened London office, taking him from McDermott Will & Emery's financial services team. Yonge has been at McDermott since 2003 and the firm made him partner in 2006. The latest move means McDermott has lost more than a dozen partners in London during the last 18 months. The more notable departures include intellectual property head Larry Cohen, who joined Latham & Watkins, employment head Fraser Younson, who moved to Berwin Leighton Paisner, and litigator and former managing partner John Reynolds, who joined White & Case.
