Pallas Partners, a boutique law firm with roots in London and a growing presence in New York, has announced the acquisition of a three-lawyer team from Kasowitz Benson Torres. This strategic move includes the addition of two partners, Michael Hanin and Jill Forster, who are expected to enhance the firm’s commercial and financial litigation capabilities, particularly for clients operating in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
This expansion is part of Pallas Partners’ broader ambition to strengthen its footprint in the New York legal market as it enters its third year since establishing an office in the city. Founded in 2022, Pallas Partners has been keen on attracting legal talent with a proven track record in building business, according to the firm’s founder, Natasha Harrison, who emphasized the importance of strategic growth over acquiring cases or client books.
The addition of the team from Kasowitz Benson Torres marks a significant step in Pallas Partners’ efforts to double its New York office size, underscoring the firm’s commitment to expanding its influence and service offerings in key markets.
