NEW YORK, August 10, 2023 – Leading international law firm Proskauer is delighted to announce that partner Janicelynn Asamoto Park has been named a 2023 Rising Star by The New York Law Journal. The annual list recognizes the region’s most promising lawyers who are under the age of 40.
A partner in Proskauer’s Tax Department and a member of the Firm’s Private Funds group, Janicelynn advises investment managers on the tax and economic considerations associated with fund formation tax structuring across asset classes. Her clients also include sponsors who are leading the GP-led process as well as many of the largest secondary investors in continuation funds. Clients turn to Janicelynn for ad hoc advice relating to their GP-level structuring, portfolio company investments and other operational matters.
Janicelynn serves on Proskauer’s Summer Program Committee and the Hiring Committee, and over the past several years, has regularly volunteered with Election Protection, a national, nonpartisan coalition that seeks to ensure all voters have equal access to voting opportunities. She is also involved in her local community and currently serves on the board of Reach Out and Read of Greater New York.
The honorees included in this year’s New York Legal Awards were selected for the impact and innovative nature of their work, diversity, practice area and pro bono work. Honorees will be recognized during the New York Legal Awards on Oct. 5.
