Paul Weiss snagged three finance partners from Sidley Austin for its New York office, with Nicholas Schwartz leading the pack after running leveraged finance at his old shop. Mark Adler and Julie Ann Lamm already made the jump, while Schwartz wraps things up before year-end. The crew handles complicated debt deals for corporate borrowers and private equity sponsors, covering everything from syndicated loans to cross-border financings and restructuring work.
Schwartz previously grinded at Kirkland and Simpson Thacher, advising on deals between 20 million and 15 billion dollars. His client roster hits names like Clearlake Capital on its 7.7 billion Dun and Bradstreet takeover, plus Siris Capital and Stonepeak. The additions bump Paul Weiss to 35 finance partners in the city, beefing up their leveraged finance game after already poaching Eric Wedel from Kirkland last cycle.
