Paul Hastings has welcomed Jeffrey Ramsay, a capital markets attorney, as a partner in its New York office — a strategic move to bolster the firm’s investment grade finance practice.
Joining from Davis Polk, where he practiced for more than 20 years, Ramsay has extensive experience in capital markets transactions and financings, with a focus on investment-grade and high-yield debt offerings as well as equity and equity-linked deals, including IPOs, follow-ons, block trades, liability management and debt restructuring matters.
“Jeff adds significant bench strength and depth to our strong investment grade finance practice,” Morgan Bale, global finance partner, said. “His wide experience and deep market knowledge further position us to expand our representation of leading investment and commercial banks, corporate clients and asset managers on some of the largest and highest-profile event-driven financings and corporate transactions.”
In addition to his transactional work, Ramsay is a trusted advisor to investment banking clients on securities law and corporate clients on corporate governance, SEC compliance and general corporate matters. His industry expertise spans life sciences, technology, financial services, energy, entertainment, consumer products and industrials.
Ramsay has advised banks, including Barclays, Bank of America Securities, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, TD Securities and Wells Fargo Securities, and completed investment-grade debt offerings for The Cigna Group, Medtronic and TD Bank, high-yield debt offerings for Chobani and WMG Acquisition, and IPOs for Royalty Pharma and Warner Music Group.
“Paul Hastings has built premier teams across practices, including in the investment-grade bond and loan markets,” Ramsay said. “I could not be more excited to join the firm and look forward to introducing its leading corporate and finance platform to my existing client relationships while contributing to its impressive growth.”
