Ron Sarubbi Named Managing Partner of Perkins Coie’s Growing New York Office

Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that Ron Sarubbi, a Corporate Law and Financial Transactions partner, has been named office managing partner of the firm’s growing New York office. Sarubbi takes over as managing partner from Keith Miller, who served in the role since March of 2016.

The firm’s New York office, founded 10 years ago in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, has experienced rapid growth. Expanding from just two attorneys in 2011 to nearly 70 today, the office relocated to a larger space at 1155 Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan in 2019. In 2020, it further expanded through the addition of 17 white collar and financial services litigation attorneys from Richards Kibbe & Orbe.

In addition to his managing partner duties, Sarubbi will continue his practice representing the corporate trust departments of banking institutions in their roles as indenture trustee, collateral agent, administrative agent, escrow agent, custodian, securities intermediary, and other agency capacities in domestic and cross-border debt capital market transactions, defaulted debt restructurings, and litigation.

Sarubbi is also active in the New York legal and business community. He is a board member of Brick by Brick, an innovative partnership that supports and develops entrepreneurial, inventive approaches to business, healthcare, and education in East African communities. He is also a member of the New York City Bar Association’s Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Lawyers, which focuses on diverse lawyers entering the legal profession.
