By Tali Rackner

Norfolk, Va., March 17 - Paul Hastings LLP announced that John Cobb has joined the leveraged finance practice as a partner in the New York office, according to a press release.

Cobb joins from Weil, where he was a partner with the capital markets and banking and finance practices. His practice focuses on leveraged loan and capital markets transactions. He has extensive experience representing banks, investors and mezzanine funds as well as issuers in connection with a broad range of banking and securities transactions, including first- and second-lien credit facilities, bridge loan facilities, high-yield and investment-grade debt offerings, mezzanine financings, liability management transactions and restructurings and reorganizations.

"John's finance and capital markets experience is highly sought after by several leading banks and other financial services firms and positions Paul Hastings to continue our recent growth in the representation of parties in complex acquisition financings in an intensely competitive marketplace," Barry Brooks, chair of the New York office, said in the release.

"His addition is not only important to our leveraged finance and related finance practices, but also represents another strategic investment in the sophistication, breadth of practice and size of our New York office."

Paul Hastings is a law firm based in Los Angeles. It has offices in Asia, Europe and the United States.
