Two Am Law 100 firms—and Seyfarth Shaw—recently announced new partner/shareholder hiring news.

Polsinelli announced the hiring of real estate finance attorneys Joshua F. Reif and Aleksandra Strang to its Atlanta office. Reif and Strang have joined the firm's real estate finance practice group as shareholders, continuing the firm's growth there, the firm said a release. Both join Polsinelli from an Am Law 100 firm where they were partners in the real estate capital markets and corporate leveraged finance practices focused on commercial mortgage warehouse and repurchase financing facilities.

"We are excited to welcome Josh and Alex into our practice," John T. Duncan III, chair of Polsinelli's financial services division and the real estate finance practice group, said in the release. "Adding their expertise with warehouse and repo financing is an outstanding opportunity for us to further build out our deep Real Estate Finance bench and our growing presence in the Atlanta market. Their practice hits a sweet spot for our Real Estate Finance client base. They will be in high demand."
