Proskauer Rose is hiring roughly a dozen lawyers in New York from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan led by the latter’s investment management chair Stuart Coleman.
The move comes sixth months after Coleman stepped down as Stroock’s co-managing partner, a leadership role he held for a decade. Coming with him to Proskauer are five other partners, a senior counsel and at least five associates, said a high-level source briefed on the matter. Proskauer announced its hire of Coleman and part of his team last week. Stroock took his departure in stride.
