Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 15 - Hahn & Hessen LLP said in a press release that Daniel M. Ford and Edward L. Schnitzer have been made partners, effective Jan. 1. They formerly were senior associates.

Ford represents financial institutions and borrowers in structuring, negotiating and closing a wide variety of domestic and cross-border financing transactions.

A magna cum laude graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, Ford was a member of the Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif.

Schnitzer represents creditors, unsecured creditor committees, debtors and trustees, with a concentrated expertise in all levels of bankruptcy-related litigation.

He began his career as an assistant district attorney in Bronx County, arguing cases before the Appellate Division, New York Court of Appeals, Southern District of New York, and the Second Circuit, and thereafter served as a staff attorney with the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A 1997 graduate of Columbia University School of Law and a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar, Schnitzer has been with the firm since 2001.

"We are delighted to have Dan and Ed as members of the firm," managing partner Steven J. Seif said in the release. "Dan has gained an impressive level of experience in all aspects of commercial lending transactions. Ed, with his extensive courtroom experience, has become a highly effective bankruptcy litigator, as well as one of the firm's leading experts in preference actions.

"The addition of Ed and Dan to the partnership positions the firm to provide a higher level of leadership in Hahn & Hessen's traditional areas of service to our clients," Seif added.
