Paul Feinstein has joined Haynes Boone as a partner in the mergers and acquisitions practice group. He will be based out of Haynes Boone’s Washington, D.C. office.
Feinstein joins the firm from Venable, where he began his legal career and built more than 12 years of transactional antitrust experience. He also has an extensive background in antitrust litigation and investigations, providing strategic counsel to clients across a wide range of industries.
His practice is focused on navigating Hart Scott Rodino (HSR) reportability and filings, advising clients on antitrust risks in potential transactions, negotiating antitrust terms in purchase agreements and designing and managing clean team protocols to facilitate due diligence. Feinstein also guides transactions through agency merger investigations and counsels clients on preclosing coordination and integration issues.
“Haynes Boone offers a premier M&A platform, with room for dedicated transactional antitrust support,” Feinstein said. “I look forward to helping build out this specialty and collaborating closely with teams across the firm on sophisticated transactions.”
Feinstein’s addition strengthens both the firm’s Washington, D.C. office and M&A practice, while offering his clients access to a transactional team with deep knowledge handling complex corporate matters.
“We are excited Paul is joining our team. His deep and substantive experience bolsters our service to clients navigating complex antitrust issues in M&A transactions,” Tom Harris, chair of the mergers and acquisitions practice group, said.
