Goodwin Procter partner Abhishek Krishnan has left the firm to join Asia-based private equity firm Hillhouse Investment’s legal team, according to two people with knowledge of his move.

In 2023, Law.com International identified Krishnan, who speaks English, Hindi and Mandarin, as a rising star in Asia in the private equity realm. At that time, Krishnan listed Hillhouse, where he served as a secondee for over a year, as one of his key clients.
