Sidley Austin LLP significantly bolstered its London private equity offering through the hire of Ramy Wahbeh and Kaisa Kuusk from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in June 2023, further strengthening the complex, cross-border M&A capability among its bench of advisers. Wahbeh heads up the practice alongside the London office’s Managing Partner Tom Thesing. Wahbeh and Kuusk are chiefly noted for their extensive work with Apollo Global Management as well as a number of its investment funds and portfolio companies. The duo join a team which also includes Adam Runcorn, who handles leveraged buyouts, investments, and debt and equity restructurings for a broad client base, particularly in the sports world.
