Shortly after picking up an M&A group from White & Case in the Silicon Valley, Paul Hastings has added another partner to its fast-growing Northern California offices.

Private equity lawyer Alex Kaufman has joined Paul Hastings as a partner in its Palo Alto office, coming from Morrison & Foerster. He most recently served as co-chairman of MoFo’s Israel practice, and said he will continue to work with his Israeli clients at his new firm.
