Four partners from Baker McKenzie’s New York employment practice, notable for their work with Fox News Corp and affiliated entities, have transitioned to Paul Hastings. This move, reported last week, significantly impacts Baker McKenzie’s New York contingent, which saw its employment lawyers reduced by a third. The team—comprising labor attorneys Paul Evans, Krissy Katzenstein, Blair Robinson, and Jeffrey Sturgeon—joined Baker McKenzie in March 2020, transitioning from Morgan Lewis & Bockius.
These lawyers have been instrumental in Fox News’s defense in various employment-related litigation over recent years. Their expertise and the relationships they forged with clients were integral to Baker McKenzie’s practice, highlighting the significance of their move to Paul Hastings. It marks a substantial reshuffling within the legal industry, particularly concerning high-profile employment defense matters.
