One of the United States’ leading law firms, Husch Blackwell, continues to expand its team with the appointment of a new partner. Lana Yaghi, a seasoned legal professional, specializing in cross-border corporate transactions, recently joined the corporate practice team in the firm’s Washington D.C. office.
Ms. Yaghi’s legal practice is chiefly focused on corporate and commercial issues, particularly within the aviation and defense sectors, as reported by Bloomberg Law. Based on her substantial experience and the depth of her knowledge, she has advised numerous clients on the acquisition, sale, and financing of corporate aircraft. Furthermore, Ms. Yaghi is well-versed in the regulatory frameworks that dictate the structure of domestic and international aircraft ownership and operations.
Included in her portfolio is her previous engagement at another recognized legal institution, Miller Canfield. This latest move strengthens Ms. Yaghi’s diverse career path. That includes a propensity for working on cross-border transactions, making her an invaluable addition to the Husch Blackwell team, and definitely one to watch in the legal community in the coming years.
While Husch Blackwell made the announcement of Ms. Yaghi’s appointment earlier this Wednesday, her joining date is yet to be confirmed publically by the firm. Regardless, competitors and clients alike will no doubt pay close attention to see how her experience and skills will contribute to the future growth of the company.
