NEW YORK, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pryor Cashman announced today that veteran employee benefits and executive compensation (EBEC) attorney Shane Stroud has joined the firm to co-lead its nationally ranked Executive Compensation, ERISA + Employee Benefits Group. With nearly two decades of experience, Stroud joins as a partner, having previously been with Hughes Hubbard & Reed. He will be resident to the firm's New York office.
