Paul Hastings, already growing fast in California, has now picked up White & Case’s William Choe and his deal team to bulk up its abilities in the Silicon Valley transactions market.

Choe, who most recently served as global head of White & Case’s technology M&A practice and co-head of its global technology industry group, made the move to Paul Hasting’s Palo Alto office Friday. He was joined by M&A partner Jason Rabbitt-Tomita. A team of other lawyers the two partners work with is expected to follow, the firm said.
