Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP
Stacey L. Rosenberg
joined Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP as partner.
Stacey L. Rosenberg, a former partner at Hogan Lovells U.S. LLP, joined Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP on Dec. 5 in the downtown Los Angeles office. Rosenberg, the 15th partner to join the firm in the last 12 months, will be part of the finance and bankruptcy practice group.
"I think that Sheppard offers me just a better platform," Rosenberg said of her move. "It has a larger banking group than Hogan had in the U.S. ... and it was doing well. But I think that Sheppard really gives me an opportunity to focus on a larger potential group of clients, and just because they have that larger finance practice, I think it's a bit easier to work with my partners and pitch business and the like."
Rosenberg had been with Hogan Lovells for four years.
Since the start of her career, she has specialized in secured lending and currently focuses on alternative lenders and direct lending. She also has experience in leveraged finance, working with investment banks and commercial banks and other types of debt finance, with the exception of public securities. Her clients range across industries but she has specific expertise in film finance, which she has been doing for the last 20 years.
Much of Rosenberg's work also involves distressed companies. "I think that there's quite a bit of opportunity to work with the bankruptcy partners to build on the synergies there as well," she added.
"Stacey checks a bunch of boxes," said Brent Horstman, Sheppard's finance and bankruptcy practice group leader. "We've always had a historical strength in commercial banking, but we have tried to strengthen our direct lending, alternative lender portion of our practice, which we think Stacey definitely does. We have a very strong entertainment group and Stacey fits well there as well. And then, just culturally, we've gotten to know Stacey over the course of interviewing and we think she fits very well with the firm. We thought, on all levels this was a great fit."
Rosenberg has been involved in handling adoption cases pro bono for the Alliance for Children's Rights. She was the coordinator of pro bono adoption cases at Hogan Lovells and looks to continue that work at Sheppard Mullin.
