Paul Hastings led the high-profile partner moves this week, hiring two partners to lead a team across London, Paris, and Abu Dhabi, according to a source with knowledge of the firm.
The firm hired White & Case partners George Kazakov and Din Eshanov, with Kazakov based in London and Eshanov opening a new office for the firm in Abu Dhabi. Each lawyer joined White & Case as a partner in 2021, with Kazakov previously leaving Cleary Gottlieb as a senior associate in 2014 and spending the intervening seven years at Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, while Eshanov joined after over 13 years at Akin, departing as senior counsel.
