Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton has hired Daniel Schnapp in New York, beefing up the firm's technology transactions team and entertainment and digital media practice with the addition of the former Hughes, Hubbard & Reed practice leader.

Schnapp, who formerly chaired Hughes Hubbard's new media, entertainment and technology practice, joins Sheppard Mullin as a partner and co-leader of his new firm's technology transactions team. Two former Hughes Hubbard associates, Alexis Robinson and Genevieve Perez, also made the move to Sheppard Mullin, the firm announced Monday.

Leadership at Sheppard Mullin welcomed Schnapp to the firm's ranks in New York. Jon Newby, vice chairman of the firm, said in a statement that the new partner's arrival “greatly bolsters our already prominent entertainment and digital media practice and overall technology transaction capabilities.”
