Alejandro Gordano, previously counsel at Linklaters in New York, has recently made a return to the renowned Latin America practice at Shearman & Sterling, this time as a partner. This strategic move comes as a wave of senior partners at Shearman & Sterling have either retired or defected to rival firms, such as Paul Hastings, leaving the capital markets practice in need of experienced professionals.
It was in this practice that Gordano honed his skills as an associate nearly 20 years ago. His return is timely, as the Latin America practice at Shearman & Sterling is currently witnessing a business surge, despite the earlier staff departures.
A more detailed account of Gordano’s move and its implications can be found in the original Law.com article.
