Paul Hastings

“Paul Hastings Prevails”: M&A Edition. Congratulations to my partner and M&A practice co-chair Eduardo Gallardo for this recognition in Bloomberg as New York’s top dealmaker. With a Peruvian background, he became a top New York lawyer by focusing on premium lawyering, together with entrepreneurialism and collaboration. This is Paul Hastings .

In the blink of an eye, the City Harvest #ShareLunchFightHunger campaign has come to a close. Proud to share that Team Paul Hastings raised more than $68,000 and placed third among the corporate teams. We were also proud to host the campaign kickoff at our New York office, bringing together corporate teams from across the city to support the fight against food insecurity in NYC. Thank you to everyone who donated, joined a team, volunteered, or helped spread the word. Your support will help provide healthy food to New Yorkers in need this summer. Looking back, it’s also meaningful to realize that over the past several years, serving as a team captain across two companies, I’ve had the privilege of helping raise more than $230,000 in support of City Harvest’s mission. And a special thank you to Grace O'Grady and Clémence Audic for all your fantastic support! #TeamPHintheCommunity #WeAreCityHarvest

Paul Hastings International Arbitration: A recent spring day with some of the team in Washington. #cultureofexcellence

Extremely happy to work alongside the TruKKer team to successfully close their US$300 million cross-border trade receivables securitisation facility with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank as Sole Arranger and Sole Lender. This is one of the first multi-jurisdictional, asset-backed securitisations for a high-growth technology business anywhere in the GCC. Non-recourse, Shariah-compliant Murabaha structures across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, harmonised with a conventional facility in Turkey. I am one of those people that unashamedly loves what they do; it isn't hard when you get to work with amazing businesses such as TruKKer's with brilliant people supporting along the way. As always deals are not one sided - this transaction was a perfect example of how counsel and commercial parties aren't in opposition but work in tandem. ADCB's amazing securitisation and structured finance team ( Francesca Revelli and Maria Barros Moreira ) and my old friends at White & Case (led by Debashis Dey and Eren Ayanlar ) prove this. Particular thanks to Kevin Taylor , Jason Brooks , Alexandra Wingrove , Sam Manful , Haris Ahmed the KSA and Turkish teams at Al Tamimi & Company and Paksoy and of course to the TruKKer team (led by but certainly not limited to Gaurav Biswas , Amit Agarwal and Arant A.) for their continued belief in and support of Paul Hastings .

Thanks to everyone who has been wishing me congrats on my work anniversary. 3 years at Paul Hastings was celebrated with our dual wins as both CLO Arranger Counsel of the Year and Private Credit CLO Arranger Counsel of the Year at the DealCatalyst awards. I don't have a pic going up to accept the award with my other team members because in classic Tracy style, I was working when the awards were being presented but I came home and told my son about our two trophies 😊

Please join me and my Paul Hastings colleagues Dave Coogan, CIPP US and Michelle Reed on Thursday, May 7, for a discussion of recent California data privacy enforcement trends. We will break down the most significant enforcement actions from CalPrivacy and the California attorney general over the past 12 months and provide a strategic roadmap for what to anticipate as expectations and requirements continue to evolve. A link to register is in the comments.

Paul Hastings is "a powerhouse of legal services” and “international arbitration behemoth,” "successfully resolving billions of dollars of disputes worldwide.” Glad to be supporting ICCA International Council for Commercial Arbitration at ICCA 2026 Madrid.

The American Lawyer summed it up well: The pace and progress of Paul Hastings ' upmarket move are unprecedented, with results that are "exceptional and unusually fast."
