Sidley Austin LLP has announced the addition of two new partners from Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, as the firm continues its effort to enhance its practice areas following a notable increase in profits per equity partner. This development is part of Sidley’s strategic lateral hiring initiative aimed at expanding its capabilities in crisis response and environmental law.
The new partners joining Sidley are Jason Mills and Alana Genderson, bringing with them extensive expertise in occupational safety, health, and employment law. Mills, who previously co-led the occupational safety and health team at Morgan Lewis, will be stationed in Sidley’s Los Angeles office. Genderson will continue her practice within Washington, focusing on employment law matters.
In 2024, Sidley surpassed the $5 million mark in profits per equity partner, an improvement from the prior year’s $4.5 million, demonstrating financial growth and stability. This metric is a crucial indicator of financial health within leading law firms, and reaching this threshold underscores Sidley’s success in aligning its financial and strategic goals.
