Proskauer Rose has brought on a notable addition to its legal team, hiring former Paul Weiss partner Sarah Stasny to lead its United States private equity transactions practice. Stasny, who commenced her new role on Monday, is expected to leverage her extensive experience to recruit partners and strengthen Proskauer’s client relations in the competitive realm of private equity mergers and acquisitions.
