Adele Maloney, who formerly served as a corporate partner at Kirkland & Ellis and held the position of deputy assistant general counsel from 2018, has transitioned to Paul Hastings in New York. At her new firm, Maloney will step into the role of general counsel. This move comes as the current general counsel, Mark Pollack, prepares to retire, although he will remain at the firm temporarily to assist with the transition.
Pollack, who joined Paul Hastings as a litigation partner in 2011, assumed the general counsel role in 2021. More details regarding this high-profile shift in legal roles can be found in the original report by Law.com.
