Three Paul Hastings private equity partners are rejoining Hogan Lovells, less than a year after they left the firm, according to a statement from Hogan Lovells.
Private equity partners Ed Harris, Leanne Moezi and Adam Brown will be rejoining Hogan Lovells 11 months after they left for Paul Hastings last summer, with Harris and Moezi returning to the firm's London office while Brown will be based in the firm's Northern Virginia office.
Harris had led Hogan Lovells' private equity team since 2014 before he left last July. He was accompanied by counsel Leanne Moezi, who was made up as a partner with her move to Paul Hastings. Moezi originally joined Hogan Lovells in 2014 as a senior associate, according to her LinkedIn profile. Both Harris and Moezi originally joined Hogan Lovells from legacy SJ Berwin, where Harris had been a partner for nine years.
Harris said in a statement: "We are very happy to have this opportunity to re-join Hogan Lovells and to work with a team we know well.
"The collaborative culture at Hogan Lovells is unlike any other firms and we know well their excellent reputation, industry knowledge and dedication to client service. The combined strength of the firm's platform and depth of capabilities in London, the Americas and beyond, provide huge advantages for clients."
Meanwhile, Brown had been a partner in Hogan Lovells' Washington D.C. office for over 10 years when he left for Paul Hastings last July.
The trio regularly advises on leveraged buyouts, preferred equity and other similar complex transactions for private investment fund sponsors and their portfolio companies.
Earlier this year Hogan Lovells named two new co-heads of its global private equity practice after former global head Tom Whelan left the firm for McDermott Will & Emery in October.
Paul Hastings did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
