McDermott Will & Emery is taking talent from a pair of global juggernauts to break further into international employment law, bringing on five lawyers from Dentons and one from Baker McKenzie to build up that practice group.

The additions – Brian Cousin, Neil Capobianco, Lindsay Ditlow, Richard Scharlat and Mark Meredith from Dentons and Carole Spink from Baker McKenzie – come a year and half after another key arrival. Michael Sheehan, the former co-chairman of DLA Piper’s global employment practice and chairman of its U.S. employment practice, joined McDermott in March 2018, launching the firm’s employment practice group as a standalone group.
