Herbert Smith has hired Ed Baring from Allen & Overy as a partner in its Moscow office.

Baring, previously a senior associate at Allen & Overy, focuses on bank lending, trade, acquisition and real-estate finance and securitisation.

The hire brings the number of partners in Moscow to nine, following the firm’s hire of Evgeny Zelensky in September.
 
Allen Hanen, managing partner of the Moscow office, says the hire of Baring will help the firm to grow the firm's share of Russia’s burgeoning syndicated loan market.
