Shearman & Sterling continues to expand its presence in Texas with the addition of six partners to its new Dallas office. The office, its third in the Lone Star State, is anchored by six partners with a broad range of transactional experience across our core industries.
The Dallas team will advise corporate and private equity clients on the full scope of transactional advice ranging from restructuring and insolvency and public and private mergers and acquisitions, to tax and general corporate issues. Joining Shearman & Sterling’s Mergers & Acquisitions practice are Scott Cohen and Robert Cardone from Jones Day with Alain Dermarkar, also from Jones Day, arriving shortly after. The Dallas office will also consist of current Shearman & Sterling restructuring partners Luckey McDowell and Ian Roberts, and tax partner Ryan Bray. They will be supported by senior associate Julia Pashin, who joined from Vinson & Elkins, and we expect a team of associates to follow.
