Sullivan & Cromwell picked up two new partners in London from Kirkland & Ellis. Aprajita Dhundia joins their private equity and mergers team, while Ian Ferreira bolsters their tax practice. Dhundia handles corporate deals for investment firms. Ferreira is a big name in deal-related tax advice across Europe.
This hire continues a noticeable recruitment push for the firm in that city. They have brought in five partners since the summer, including another former Kirkland lawyer, Kon Asimacopoulos, who now helps run the London office. Firm leadership stated these hires match their strategic goals for serving financial clients worldwide.
The two lawyers left Kirkland after long tenures there. Dhundia spent nearly thirteen years at the firm. Ferreira was a partner for a decade. Their departure follows other recent moves at Kirkland, which just added a competition law team from another firm.
