Renowned M&A lawyer David Hernand has recently joined Simpson Thacher as a partner in Los Angeles. The announcement, made public on a Simpson Thacher press release, marks Hernand’s transition from Paul Hastings, where he had played a pivotal role for several years.
Specializing in mergers and acquisitions, Hernand’s résumé boasts a significant concentration in the media, entertainment, and technology sectors. His legal counsel has been pivotal for numerous companies, boards of directors, special committees, and high net worth individuals and families, in addition to private equity and venture capital firms.
This move has generated interest in the legal sphere, as Hernand’s considerable reputation and experience is likely to complement and enhance Simpson Thacher’s presence, particularly in the Los Angeles area.
