By Caroline Salls

Pittsburgh, March 25 - Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP has hired Carren B. Shulman and Russell L. Reid Jr. as New York-based partners in the law firm's Finance and Bankruptcy practice group, according to a news release.

According to the release, Shulman and Reid most recently practiced with Heller Ehrman in New York.

Sheppard Mullin said Shulman focuses her practice on bankruptcy, commercial litigation, business reorganization and creditors' rights, with an emphasis on representing secured and unsecured creditors in transactions in and out of bankruptcy both domestically and internationally.

Meanwhile, Reid's practice focuses on the areas of creditors' rights, bankruptcy, and corporate reorganization, with particular emphasis on default administration for corporate trustees.

Shulman received a B.A., magna cum laude, from State University of New York and a J.D. from New York University Law School. Reid received a B.F.A., journalism, magna cum laude, from Southern Methodist University, as well as a B.B.A., cum laude, and a J.D. from University of Texas School of Law.

"With Carren and Russell joining us, we continue to grow signature practice groups like Finance and Bankruptcy and expand national capabilities to better serve client needs on both coasts," Sheppard Mullin chairman Guy Halgren said in the release.

"In the current business climate where restructurings and insolvencies are on the upswing, their bankruptcy and commercial litigation expertise is of even greater value to clients."

New York-based partner Edward H. Tillinghast III leads Sheppard Mullin's East Coast bankruptcy practice, according to the release. Tillinghast specializes in corporate reorganizations and restructurings, cross-border insolvencies, creditors' rights litigation and distressed mergers and acquisitions.

In addition, Margaret M. Mann joined the San Diego office of Sheppard Mullin as partner in the firm's Finance and Bankruptcy practice group two months ago. She previously led Heller Ehrman's Restructuring and Insolvency practice.
