Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, adding to a wave of hires this year, is continuing to expand its finance capabilities by adding Proskauer Rose’s former co-head of finance in New York and a partner from Kirkland & Ellis in Germany.

Vincenzo Paparo, who helped lead Proskauer’s finance group for more than seven years, joined Orrick’s New York office as a partner in the banking and finance group. Former Kirkland partner Christine Kaniak, an acquisition finance specialist, joined the firm in Munich, becoming the 31st new partner to join Orrick so far in 2018.
