Sidley Austin strengthens its Global Finance practice with the addition of Partner Jeffrey Ross in New York. Ross joins from Debevoise & Plimpton, where he served as Finance Chair for more than 20 years. Having advised on landmark transactions including the $15 billion merger of Envision Healthcare with AMSURG and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice’s $3.2 billion acquisition of Emergency Medical Services Corp, he focuses on complex acquisitions and leveraged financings. His arrival directly supports Sidley’s ambitious build-out of its private equity platform, which generated $1.3 billion in worldwide sponsor-related revenue last year. CenterPeak facilitated this strategic placement through Jennifer Moss and Sabina Lippman.
