In a move that further strengthens its premier global capital markets platform, Paul Hastings announced the addition of elite capital markets partner Jean Park in New York and Silicon Valley.
Joining from Cooley, Park advises companies, investment banks and investors on a broad range of transactional and general corporate matters, including IPOs and other securities offerings, PIPE transactions, private financings, and mergers and acquisitions. She also counsels late-stage private companies and public companies on general corporate and securities law matters, with a particular focus on the technology and healthcare industries. Prior to Cooley, Park was a partner at Simpson Thacher.
“We have made it a strategic priority to build an elite global equity capital markets and public company platform over the last few years. Jean brings an elite skillset along with strong industry relationships and experience that will continue to build on our current capabilities for advising late-stage private companies, IPO candidates and public companies – particularly in the fintech, AI, digital health and other innovation-focused sectors – through every stage of their business cycle,” said firm Chair Frank Lopez. “Her arrival will help us continue to win more market share of U.S. IPOs and complex public company matters which is integral to achieving our broader goals.”
“Paul Hastings’ platform has incredible momentum across all of its major practices, and I am thrilled to be joining this platform that is unmatched in its ability to serve as a strategic advisor across the full capital structure for clients in all stages of growth,” said Park.
With widely recognized elite teams across 17 core practices, Paul Hastings is a premier law firm with a culture of excellence focused on providing intellectual capital and superior execution globally to the world’s leading investment banks, asset managers and corporations.
