Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton has landed Dentons partner Mick Cochran to lead its private equity team.

Cochran said he made the move to Kilpatrick, announced Monday, because his private equity and corporate clients would benefit from the firm’s extensive tech practice. Cochran will co-chair Kilpatrick’s private equity team. Until last year, he was chair of Dentons’ U.S. corporate practice.
