On Friday, New York-based Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton hired London private equity partner Edward Aldred.
Aldred spent his entire two-decade career at Linklaters, co-heading its financial sponsor leveraged finance practice.
Cleary managing partner Michael Gerstenzang said Aldred would assist in funding public and private M&As.
Linklaters wished Aldred well.
Aldred is Cleary’s third London hire. In January, Travers Smith’s private equity head Ian Shawyer joined.
Cleary hired Linklaters corporate finance partner Nicholas Rumsby in November.
