Mergers and acquisitions specialist Sarkis Jebejian became one of the few Cravath, Swaine & Moore partners to make a lateral move out of the firm when he joined Kirkland & Ellis’s New York office Monday.
Like most lawyers who practice there, Jebejian, 43, began his career at Cravath, which he joined upon graduating from Columbia Law School in 1994. Since being promoted to partner in 2002, he has worked on major domestic and cross-border M&A transactions for such clients as BAE Systems, British American Tobacco, the independent directors of General Motors, NextEra Energy, and Northrop Grumman.
