International law firm McDermott Will & Emery is pleased to announce the arrival of Milo Molfa as an international arbitration partner in its London office. Milo – who is dual-qualified in England and Wales and is an Italian avvocato – brings a wealth of experience from his previous role at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle.
“Milo’s stellar track record in international arbitration and his talent for untangling complex disputes will provide great value to our clients,” said Steven Scholes, global head of McDermott’s Litigation Practice Group.

Highlighting the growth of the London office, Aymen Mahmoud, the office’s managing partner, said the Firm is thrilled to welcome Milo as its 11th lateral partner hire in London over the last year. “Milo’s enthusiasm and dedication to excellence are a perfect fit for our team.
