"Bruno's reputation and experience will strengthen our tax team in Paris and across Europe," Paul Hastings chair Seth Zachary said in a statement. "His appointment will also help us extend our existing relationships and develop new relationships with French and pan-European private equity funds [and] their portfolio companies, as well as leading corporate clients."
