Paul Hastings Deepens Premier Litigation Team With Complex Commercial Litigator in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Further strengthening its premier global litigation practice, Paul Hastings LLP today announced that Ronald K. Anguas, Jr., has joined the firm as a partner in Washington, D.C.

Joining from Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Anguas has more than a decade of experience in trial and appellate litigation, as well as advising clients in matters ranging from complex commercial disputes and consumer class actions to product liability, mass torts, and related appeals.

“Ronnie’s addition reflects the increased demand we are seeing across our litigation practice,” said firm Chair Frank Lopez. “His arrival adds depth to our premier litigation team and enhances our ability to provide intellectual capital in serving clients’ needs in the areas of investigations, enforcement, and complex litigation as we continue to gain market share at the top of the market.”

A former clerk at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit who also earned an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, Anguas represents clients across the country in federal and state trial and appellate courts. He advises companies on their most consequential matters across a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, aerospace, chemicals, industrials, financial services, pharmaceuticals, higher education, and technology.

“I’m excited to work with the highly skilled litigators at Paul Hastings and to serve the firm’s clients while also enabling my clients to benefit from the firm’s leading global platforms across so many practice areas,” said Anguas.

Anguas arrives at Paul Hastings on the heels of elite litigator Benjamin Snyder, who joined the firm last week from the office of the U.S. Solicitor General. Other notable strategic litigation hires in Washington, D.C., include Chambers-ranked national security and global trade partner Keith Schomig, preeminent Chambers Band 1-ranked environmental litigator Brian Israel, prominent international arbitration partner Jonathan Hamilton, a premier six-partner IP litigation team including Shamita Etienne-Cummings, Jay Gagen, and David Tennant, leading antitrust partners Ryan Phair and Craig Y.
