Paul Hastings LLP

Paul Hastings was founded in 1951 and has developed an international practice serving investment banks, asset managers, and corporations. Its current firm materials emphasize financial and business clients, with services across the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Finance and capital markets are substantial parts of that offering.

The practice includes banking, private credit, project finance, securitization, and collateralized loan obligations. It also covers financial restructuring, real estate, hospitality, employment, compliance, and white collar matters. International trade advice includes export controls and economic sanctions, connecting business activity with government restrictions and enforcement.

For students, Paul Hastings' practice mix shows several ways to work with financial and corporate clients. A team may structure new financing, address financial distress, investigate conduct, or advise on regulatory obligations. Those functions call for different skills, making the specific practice group an important part of understanding the opportunities within the firm's global platform.
