July 30, 2026 Former NFL Executive Vice President and General Counsel Brings Decades of Experience Advising Organizations on Complex Litigation, Antitrust, Labor, and Strategic Matters NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 - Proskauer announced today that Jeff Pash has joined the Firm as a partner in its Sports Group in New York. One of the country's most respected sports lawyers, Jeff joins Proskauer after nearly three decades as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the National Football League, where he advised league leadership on many of the organization's most significant legal, collective bargaining, business, and governance matters.

He will be an extraordinary resource for our clients and for our lawyers, and I look forward to working closely with him and relying on his counsel as we build for the future."

The legal industry's biggest shift isn't in the courtroom. A new wave of AI-native law firms are reshaping the legal industry by attracting Big Law talent with AI-first workflows, alternative pricing models, and greater flexibility. Founded by former attorneys from firms like Perkins Coie, Cooley LLP, WilmerHale, and Sidley Austin LLP, firms such as Talairis Law Group, Soxton.AI, General Legal (YC26), and Norm Law are integrating AI into every aspect of legal work while offering flat fees, subscriptions, and equity opportunities instead of the traditional billable-hour model. Although these firms remain much smaller than Big Law, industry experts believe their rapid adoption of AI signals a lasting shift, with many predicting that firms that fail to embrace AI risk falling behind. Market movements. * Sheppard hires 2 partners, Dan Collins and Levi Giovanetto, to launch white-collar investigation practice in Chicago * Gibson Dunn hires ex-Blackstone, Simpson Thacher partner, Angus Lennox * Ex-K&L Gates legal ops chief, Bart Gabler, heads to Jackson Lewis P.C. * King & Spalding adds finance partner, Gloria Kim, in New York from Proskauer Firm spotlight - Milbank LLP.

Known for handling landmark restructurings and major energy and infrastructure projects worldwide, Milbank also stands out for its innovative associate development programs, including its award-winning Milbank@Harvard leadership training initiative. Industry insights. * Lateral hiring at large U.S. law firms slowed in the second quarter of 2026 after a strong start to the year, with associate and counsel moves declining while partner hiring remained relatively steady, according to figures from legal data company Firm Prospects. The data, which tracks attorney moves among the 200 largest U.S. law firms by revenue, showed firms made 3,205 lateral hires during the quarter, down 15.1% from 3,776 in the first quarter and down 4.5% from 3,356 in the second quarter of 2025. * At least 11 partners have left Clifford Chance in the U.S. between July 2025 and July 2026, according to SurePoint Technologies data, whose departure figures include lateral moves and retirements. Most recently, the firm saw seven additional partner exits in the first two weeks of July 2026, going to Sidley Austin LLP and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. In comparison, Clifford Chance brought in 10 partner hires from June 2025 to June 2026. However, the firm's own numbers show a 40% growth in its U.S. partnership since 2023. * Results from an annual private equity survey from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, released in late June, highlight that while PE fundraising in Q1 was up 11% from Q4 of 2025, overall PE fundraising was down 8% from 2024. * K&L Gates has cut its nonattorney and business support staff by 10% following a monthslong review of its structure, the firm told Law360 Pulse Friday. Paul Hastings Bets Big on the Booming Sports Industry Paul Hastings is expanding into the rapidly growing sports sector with the launch of a dedicated sports industry practice, reflecting Big Law's increasing focus on sports as franchise values and private investment continue to rise. The firm has recruited former Baltimore Ravens general counsel Brandon Etheridge and other experienced sports attorneys to advise investors, owners, and financial institutions on team acquisitions, financing, stadium developments, and other complex transactions. By combining its strengths in private equity, asset management, and finance, Paul Hastings aims to become a leading player in the evolving sports law market. DOJ Issues Sweeping Subpoenas to 14 Major Law Firms The U.S. Department of Justice has issued sweeping subpoenas to 14 law firms, including firms that reached agreements with President Trump and those targeted by executive orders, seeking communications related to the administration's law firm policies, executive orders, and negotiations. As part of an ongoing legal dispute with the American Bar Association, the DOJ is also requiring firm leaders to sit for depositions while requesting extensive records involving Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, internal communications, and social media activity. The subpoenas significantly expand the scope of the investigation and add another layer to the legal battle over the administration's treatment of major law firms.
