US firm Seyfarth Shaw set to open in London after Norton Rose hire

US firm Seyfarth Shaw is set to open its doors in London after hiring Norton Rose global employment head Peter Talibart. Talibart will be tasked with developing the firm's employment practice in Europe and the Middle East. Seyfarth Chairman Stephen Poor said: "The London office is not a first step to us opening offices across Europe, nor is it an attempt to enter the UK with a full-service offering like other US firms. "Rather, it is about establishing a hub office to enable us to better service our clients and also to facilitate our close relationships with UK and European law firms who assist us across the region in all practice areas."
