Travers Smith Partner Defection Continues as Ben Thompson Joins Sidley Austin

Embattled U.K. law firm Travers Smith is contending with another recent partner defection as one of their leading infrastructure partners, Ben Thompson, has joined U.S. based firm, Sidley Austin, according to individuals privy to the situation. This move comes just shy of Ben Thompson’s three-year tenure at Travers, having previously served as counsel at another U.S. firm, Weil, Gotshal Manges.

Travers Smith continues facing internal challenges, with this departure occurring only one week after the firm lost two private equity partners to Goodwin Procter.
