NEW YORK – In a major expansion of its East Coast real estate, finance and real estate restructuring practices, Haynes and Boone, LLP announces the addition of six partners who bring a wealth of experience, particularly representing top-tier New York financial institutions, real estate funds and private equity groups.
All six partners are making the move to the Haynes and Boone
Finance Practice from the Paul Hastings New York-based real estate finance and restructuring practices. Four of the six are focused on
real estate finance. They are
Kenneth J. Friedman,
Robert J. Grados,
Steven Koch and
Walter F. Schleimer. The other two –
Lawrence Mittman and
Carolyn E. Sullivan – concentrate on
real estate restructurings. The group’s collective experience will be invaluable to Haynes and Boone clients for real estate finance, and as restructurings, workouts and bankruptcies continue to create opportunities.
Four attorneys have been named to the 2010 class of partners at Haynes and Boone, LLP.
The new partners for 2010 are Kendyl Hanks, an appellate litigator splitting her time between the New York and Dallas offices; Arthur Howard, a Houston-based corporate attorney; Ben Mesches, a Dallas appellate litigator; and Eric Williams, a Dallas-based corporate attorney.
“These new partners are some of the best and brightest legal minds in the corporate world today,” said Terry Conner, Haynes and Boone’s managing partner. “Each has the entrepreneurial spirit and client-centric focus that has served our firm so well. We are very pleased to accept them into our partnership."
Haynes and Boone, LLP represented Rise Energy Partners, LP in the Dec. 30 acquisition of a 51.75 percent ownership interest in certain oil and gas properties of Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. and the stock of San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company. The remaining interest was acquired by an affiliate of Silver Point Capital, LP.
The properties acquired included three offshore leases located in federal waters off the coast of California, three production platforms and a pipeline connecting the production platforms to the coast.
