Moving swiftly to restock its benefits and compensation practice after lateral departures this year, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan has added a new partner, Austin Lilling, in New York.

Lilling, who arrived at Stroock on Aug. 8, previously led Katten Muchin Rosenman’s executive compensation practice. In the last month, Stroock has also hired Patrick Menasco, formerly a partner at Steptoe & Johnson, to its benefits and compensation practice.
