Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, one of the largest multinational law firms in the world, has recently expanded its financial services regulatory practice. This expansion was marked by the addition of a new partner, Alison Hashmall, who has now joined the firm’s New York team, according to a recent report by Bloomberg Law.
Hashmall, a specialist in bank regulatory matters, has a wide range of clients including domestic and non-U.S. banking organizations, fintech companies, financial sponsors, and private equity funds. Not only does Hashmall represent these entities, but she also plays a notable role in their advocacy initiatives, particularly in respect to bank regulatory issues. These often involve concerns and developments surrounding capital and loss-absorbing capacity requirements and resolution and recovery planning.
Freshfields, in their official announcement regarding this new partnership, expressed their positive outlook on Hashmall’s addition to their New York team. They believe her expertise will further bolster their financial services regulatory practice, especially in a rapidly changing economic landscape. The firm’s statement can be read in full on their official website.
The inclusion of Hashmall is assuredly a significant step for Freshfields, a firm known for its dedication to strengthening its practice areas and services. As a new practitioner, Hashmall will likely contribute to this strategic principle, bringing a fresh perspective and updated practices to the financial regulatory landscape.
