Shearman & Sterling\u00a0Expands Private Equity Capabilities and Strengthens Capital Markets Practice with\u00a0Addition of\u00a0Dickens<\/p>\n

Shearman & Sterling\u00a0has furthered its commitment to build a market-leading private equity practice with the addition of veteran lawyer Jeremy Dickens, who will join the firm as a partner in New York.
\nMr. Dickens comes to Shearman & Sterling with law firm and corporate experience. At Weil, Gotshal & Manges, he was a member of the private equity practice and co-founder and co-head of its global capital markets practice. During his 18 years with Weil,\u00a0in both London and New York, Mr. Dickens represented leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies in a wide range of matters, including M&A, corporate governance, corporate restructurings, securities offerings, compliance, shareholder litigation, and SEC and corporate investigations. He also was widely respected as a top high yield debt and IPO lawyer, primarily acting as underwriters\u2019 counsel. Throughout his career, global, UK, and US peer- and client-nominated ranking guides repeatedly named him a leading lawyer.<\/p>\n

In 2007, after representing Riverdeep Group in the $3.7 billion reverse acquisition of Houghton Mifflin, he left Weil to become President of the resulting company, Education Media and Publishing Group (EMPG). In that role, he was responsible for M&A, corporate finance, joint ventures, and other strategic initiatives. He served on EMPG\u2019s board of directors and worked closely with its private equity backers. After shepherding EMPG through an out-of-court restructuring in 2009, he founded a company providing outsourcing services to large nonprofit organizations and served as an independent director of a private equity-backed bank holding company.<\/p>\n

“Jeremy\u2019s arrival significantly strengthens our private equity capabilities and enhances our already well regarded leveraged finance practice,\u201d said Shearman & Sterling global managing partner David Beveridge. “He has exceptional credentials in both areas and is highly regarded by his clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Shearman & Sterling Americas capital markets leader Antonia Stolper, a New York-based partner, \u201cOur Capital Markets Americas practice already has a market-leading reputation, and having Jeremy come on board will certainly solidify our standing among clients and the broader business community.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Dickens will focus on expanding the firm\u2019s private equity practice, which draws upon asset management, capital markets, mergers & acquisitions, executive compensation, bank finance, and tax groups and also provides opportunities for litigation and restructuring assignments. He also will advise Shearman & Sterling\u2019s corporate and investment banking clients.<\/p>\n

“Shearman & Sterling\u2019s long history, great reputation across critical practice areas and global footprint make it the ideal platform from which to build a private equity practice,\u201d Mr. Dickens said. “I am honored to join a firm I have admired for so many years and I am very excited about the opportunities ahead.\u201d
