By Justin Henry
CenterPeak's Sabina Lippman reveals the strategy behind this high-profile move: "M&A practices, especially practices at this level, have always been in very significant demand. We are seeing enhanced interest in public M&A with relative optimism about deal flow in every market this year." Simpson Thacher partner Michael Cromie joins his former mentor David Grubman at Sidley Austin, where Grubman now co-leads the global M&A practice. The duo previously advised on major deals including Evoqua Water Technologies' $7.5 billion merger with Xylem.
