William Kahn, who was until recently was an associate at Hogan & Hartson, has moved over to Seyfarth Shaw. Kahn began work at Seyfarth today as a partner.
Kahn brings with him a M&A practice that focuses on advising U.S. and international clients on outbound and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Kahn said today that his client portfolio primarily includes businesses in the aerospace, defense, technology, marketing and media, manufacturing and hotels industries. He declined to comment on specific clients.
Kahn said his move was “totally unrelated” to the ongoing merger talks between Hogan and Lovells. (Yesterday, The NLJ reported that the partnerships of both firms approved the union.)
“I had started the process of looking for another firm, which turned out to be Seyfarth, before the announcement of a potential merger. Nothing about it was a factor or had a factor in my decision,” Kahn said.
Kahn said he was attracted to Seyfarth Shaw because he was looking for “more transparency and predictability” in rates, which he said the firm offers. “Being able to provide high-quality services and to better predict costs on specific projects was very important to my clients. Moving to Seyfarth allowed for both of those things,” Kahn said.
