A&O Shearman global financial services regulatory co-head and financial institutions sector lead Barnabas Reynolds has left the firm to join Sullivan & Cromwell, in an extremely rare lateral hire for the US firm in London.
Reynolds, who is a Legal 500 Hall of Famer for non-contentious financial services, was one of the most high-profile partners at legacy Shearman & Sterling, where he headed up the firm’s global financial services practice. He took a similar practice leadership role when his firm merged with Allen & Overy last year.
