Pascal Mayer Joins Latham & Watkins New York Partner Ranks

Mayer’s practice focuses on the intersection of strategic investment and executive incentives. He regularly structures management equity arrangements, incentive plans, and employment packages for leveraged buyouts and take-private deals. By navigating the dual perspectives of sponsors and executives, he provides counsel that spans the entire investment lifecycle, including regulatory compliance and corporate disclosure obligations.

Marc Jaffe, managing partner of the firm’s New York office, noted that Mayer’s experience enhances the firm’s ability to provide full-service support to private equity clients. Global practice chair Larry Seymour added that Mayer’s arrival provides critical depth to the team as compensation considerations become increasingly integral to deal execution. His transition follows the recent addition of partner Erica Aho, marking a period of active growth for the group. Mayer, a graduate of McGill University and the University of Alberta, will integrate his practice into the firm’s existing global platform.
