At the end of 2009 Arnold & Porter received a boost to its practice when it recruited two partners from Shearman & Sterling: Annette Schild and Silvio Cappellari.

The firm's most reputed practitioner is Brussels-based partner Marleen Van Kerckhove. Among recent deals, the market saw Keckhove work with Cappelari to advise General Electric Company to obtain approvals from the Commission for the sale of its majority stake in NBC Universal to Comcast.
