Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison has onboarded former Kirkland & Ellis corporate partner Aaron Schlaphoff to its corporate department, resident in New York. Formerly a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission attorney fellow in the commission’s Division of Investment Management, Schlaphoff had been at Kirkland since 2016. 

“Paul Weiss has a fantastic private funds practice that aligns with the sophistication of the clients and what is happening in the asset management industry,” Schlaphoff said. “We are seeing so much more complexity as clients navigate new opportunities and see the SEC actions that are going to impact and are already impacting the private fund industry. That makes it so important to be at a firm that has great people and great opportunities.”
