“Sidley’s leading Restructuring and M&A practices are mutually reinforcing and complementary, and serve as the platform on which Mr. Newman will now operate,” said Dan Clivner, managing partner of the Greater Los Angeles offices and member of Sidley’s Executive Committee. “Sam has demonstrated the kind of dedication and excellence our clients have come to expect from Sidley for matters critical to their life cycle.”
