Schulte founding partner Paul Roth receives NY Law Journal Lifetime Achievement Award
August 15, 2023
Schulte Roth & Zabel founding partner Paul Roth has been selected as a Lifetime Achievement Award Winner by the New York Law Journal. This prestigious New York Legal Award is bestowed upon attorneys who have made an impact on the legal community and the practice of law over an entire career.
In 1969, embracing the spirit of entrepreneurship, Paul, along with his partners, embarked to form a firm in New York that practiced law at the highest level. Considered the “dean of the hedge fund bar,” Paul set the framework for the industry and led its emergence as a practice within New York City and beyond. Paul has carved out a remarkable and influential niche in the legal profession and private capital markets while building a full service firm with top caliber talent. Paul’s work outside the firm has been equally impressive, including serving as a long-term board member of the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund as well an adjunct professor at Wharton, Stern, NYU School of Law and the University of Miami School of Business in their Business and Law Program.
Paul’s legacy of success permeates our mission and values and we congratulate him on this well-deserved honor. Paul will be recognized during the New York Legal Awards on Oct. 4th at Pier Sixty, located at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.
