Paul Hastings LLP
In addition to a steady stream of sponsor-side engagements, Paul Hastings LLP‘s management team work sees the team advising on a number of transactions across the tech, healthcare, and industrials sectors. The practice is headed up by Anu Balasubramanian, a highly active transactional partner whose expertise is concentrated in tech and life sciences. Tom Cartwright – who joined the team from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius UK LLP in June 2022 – has since advised on cross-border deals in the insurance, chemical, and manufacturing sectors, while Jamie Holdoway’s recent workload includes buyouts, co-investments, and consortia transactions.
