On Friday the investment bank announced two new addtions in its London office: Paul Armstrong in the financial solutions group and Talal Dehbi in equity derivatives.
The move is part of a slew of new hires year, which included adding to the bank's fixed-income desk in New York in the spring and hiring a head of European debt capital markets in June.
