In New York, Latham & Watkins has recruited restructuring and finance partner John Sobolewski from Wachtell. Sobolewski joins as global head of liability management, strengthening Latham’s financial restructuring and special situations group.
Why does this matter?
Latham has been aggressively expanding its restructuring team, having recently added former Weil and Paul Weiss partners.
