The legal market continues to witness significant movements as two prominent lawyers, Scott Chase and Kerry Johnson, have joined Paul Hastings as capital markets partners. The firm announced the addition on Monday, with Chase positioned in its Boston office, while Johnson will be based in Chicago.
Scott Chase, previously with Goodwin Procter, brings extensive expertise in advising both public and private entities on a variety of corporate and securities matters. His practice covers initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on offerings, corporate governance, and disclosure issues, as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Kerry Johnson, who joins from DLA Piper, specializes in capital markets and securities offerings. Her focus is primarily on M&A transactions and corporate governance, particularly within the real estate sector and publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
The inclusion of Chase and Johnson to the Paul Hastings team marks a strategic enhancement of the firm’s capabilities, especially in the capital markets domain. For further details, see the Bloomberg Law report.
