In a thrilling turn of events, Shearman & Sterling LLP didn’t just rehire an attorney – they reclaimed one of their own.
Amidst the whirlwind backdrop of partner exits and a looming merger with Allen & Overy LLP, the firm announced on Monday the strategic reappointment of Alejandro Gordano from Linklaters LLP.
This move is seen as a masterstroke in bolstering its Latin America expertise.
 Gordano’s Odyssey: From Shearman to Linklaters and Back
Alejandro Gordano isn’t just another counsel.
Having served at Linklaters for a noteworthy span of three and a half years, he now makes a triumphant return to Shearman’s New York fortress, not just as an attorney but as a partner in its crucial capital markets division.
It’s akin to a seasoned captain navigating through different waters, only to return to his original ship.
Gordano’s vast experience encompasses serving corporations, venture capitalists, governments, and state-owned entities throughout Latin America.
Adam Hakki, Shearman’s senior partner, likened Gordano to a compass in turbulent waters.
