Paul Hastings Adds to Bankruptcy Practice in Texas

Dallas corporate bankruptcy and restructuring partner Charles Persons has joined Paul Hastings as the corporate law firm continues to beef up its Texas bankruptcy operations.

Persons and Paul Genender, who is co-chair of the Dallas and Houston offices at Paul Hastings, worked with each other at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in 2016 and 2017, and both say that their knowledge of each other’s practices and their friendship played a key role in Persons’ decision to join the firm, which has grown from 25 to 80 lawyers in Texas during the past year.
