Fulbright & Jaworski Adds Trusts and Estates Partner

Fulbright & Jaworski has added a solo practitioner to its New York trusts and estates practice. Stephanie Heilborn, a former associate at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy who broke off in 2007 to start her own firm, is closing down Heilborn LLC to join Fulbright as a partner. Not typically a hotbed of lateral hiring, trusts and estates practices have been getting more attention from law firms since the start of the recession, say recruiters.
