Paul Hastings LLP

Our lawyers provide the legal solutions and business insights necessary to help our clients navigate new paths to growth. We have advised on numerous complex domestic and cross-border deals and financings, as well as helping clients manage compliance risks and resolve sensitive disputes.

Over the past five years our London team has more than doubled in size, and we continue to significantly strengthen our global practices to better serve our clients’ evolving needs.

Our City office continues to positively contribute to the firm’s financial trajectory. We continue to build our reputation in London and strengthen our existing global practices with a series of strategic and prominent London hires, who have already delivered outstanding successes for our clients.

Critical to our success has been the strong fabric of our culture. We attract, retain and promote extraordinary talent; preeminent partners in their fields who are energetic, dynamic, and who share our commitment to our clients. We strive to excel in specialist areas and have concentrated our growth in London in practice specialisms that are accretive to our overall global strategy; these key practice areas include finance/structured credit, corporate M&A/real estate, restructuring, private/credit funds and private equity. Our dynamic and entrepreneurial work environment encourages our focus on building close client relationships and developing our talent in a diverse and inclusive way so we are seen as trusted advisors.

The London office plans to build on the blocks of success set down in recent years, continue growth in size, revenue, and per partner profits, and expand our reach in our core business areas with the strategic hire of exceptional partner talent. Our confidence in our London offering is reflected in the firm’s much-discussed move to the top floors on the elite new 100 Bishopsgate development in 2019, sharing the building with Jeffries, Royal Bank of Canada, and Freshfields.
