In a notable move within the legal sector, Latham & Watkins has appointed John Sobolewski, a former partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, as the global chair of its liability management practice based in New York. Sobolewski is recognized as a leading authority in his field, bringing a wealth of experience from his previous role in Wachtell’s restructuring and finance department.
This recruitment strengthens Latham’s restructuring team, which has been expanding recently with well-regarded partners from other prominent law firms such as Weil, Gotshal & Manges and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Sobolewski’s expertise is expected to enhance the firm’s capabilities amid increasing demands in corporate restructuring and liability management.
