Global law firm Paul Hastings continues to grow its team with the recent addition of partner William Schwab. Schwab has assumed the position of chair of the firm’s Boston office, according to the official announcement made last Thursday.
Schwab previously collaborated with Sidley Austin and comes with a trove of experience in the field of private equity. His law practice is characterised by representative roles for private equity funds and portfolio companies in various serious financial transactions including late-stage, full, and management buyouts. His expertise also extends to participating in mergers, acquisitions, secondary transactions, and recapitalizations, a competency for which Paul Hastings regards him highly.
Furthermore, Schwab brings insightful expertise in advising searchers, search fund companies, and their investors. His guidance in all stages, from raising funds to acquisitions, operations, and finally, to exits is a notable part of his portfolio. The new inclusion in Paul Hastings’ private equity practice reinforces the firm’s commitment to expand its presence in Boston.
