Paul Weiss is fortifying its presence in Los Angeles, a year after the office’s inauguration, by bringing on board Bianca Levin-Soler, a partner specializing in mergers and acquisitions and private equity, from Ropes & Gray. Levin-Soler’s tenure at Ropes lasted about two years, and her prior experience includes a stint at Kirkland & Ellis, as noted on her LinkedIn profile.
Her addition aims to bolster Paul Weiss’s private equity practice. This strategic move comes shortly after the firm’s significant recruitment from Kirkland & Ellis last year, where Paul Weiss hired a 13-partner team, including Los Angeles-based Eric Wedel, who now heads the LA office. Further details on the firm’s recent expansion can be found here.
The Los Angeles office’s various strategic hires aim to strengthen its grip on the competitive private equity market, aligning with Paul Weiss’s overarching objective to expand its footprint within key financial hubs.
