Sidley Adds Three Partners to Capital Markets Practice in New York
Sidley Austin LLP announced that Michael Schiavone, Daniel O’Shea and David Ni have joined the firm’s New York office as partners in the Capital Markets practice. The group joins from O’Melveny & Myers LLP where Schiavone chaired the Capital Markets practice.
“I am thrilled to have Mike return home,” said Edward F. Petrosky, global chair of Sidley’s Capital Markets practice. “Mike, Dan and David are extremely talented capital markets practitioners with a substantial level of deal experience and market acceptance. Their practice will broadly diversify our preeminent Capital Markets practice and enhance our ability to serve our clients at the highest level across various industry sectors such as life sciences, financial institutions, consumer and media.”
Sidley’s Capital Markets team grew last year with the additions of partners David Buck, Jon Daly, George Vlahakos, William Cooper and Angela Richards in Houston and Wim De Vlieger and Till Lefranc in London.
Mr. Schiavone has experience on Wall Street, working with convertible securities. He focuses on bank-side capital markets representations. He represents underwriters and issuers in a wide variety of equity, debt and convertible securities offerings and has advised clients in acquisition finance, debt restructuring and liability management transactions.
O’Shea has represented underwriters in IPOs and debt and bond offerings. He has a background advising issuers and investment banking institutions and he has also counseled clients on corporate governance matters and public company reporting.
Ni represents clients in a variety of offerings, including primary and secondary equity, convertible notes, investment-grade and high-yield debt, and hybrid securities. He has worked in acquisition and leveraged finance, debt restructuring, liability management transactions and remarketings.
