Paul Hastings is poised to hire the bulk of Boies Schiller Flexner’s corporate lawyers in New York as the group looks to expand its practice.

“I think this was a very successful move,” firm chairman David Boies said Tuesday. “It enables the corporate group to better serve their clients and I think they’ll continue to expand and grow with a corporate platform that has a greater scope and scale. At the same time, it will enable the firm to concentrate on its litigation practice, which has always been [its] core.”
