Arturo Caraballo The height of summer was a busy time for lateral hiring at US, Canadian and offshore firms. In early August, WEIL GOTSHAL & MANGES bolstered its restructuring practice with the hire of partner Matt Barr in New York. Barr, who joined from Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy, advises creditors, debtors, bondholders, funds and shareholders in Chapter 11 and out-of-court restructurings. In the same city, SCHULTE ROTH & ZABEL gained both Boris Ziser and Thomas Weinberger from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. Ziser, who takes the helm of Schulte's structured products and derivatives practice, works with a myriad of asset classes including loans, leases, cell towers and lottery receivables. Weinberger's background includes work on asset-backed securities, particularly risk-linked securities. He has also engineered fund formations.
