International law firm McDermott Will & Emery welcomes Sebastien Bonneau as a London-based partner in its Transactions Practice Group. Sebastien focuses on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), private equity, and joint venture transactions.
“Sebastien’s practice is a unique blend of M&A, private equity, real estate, and energy. Given the synergies between our clients and his, he is a great fit for the Firm and the transactions practice,” said Harris Siskind, global head of McDermott’s Transactions Practice Group.
With more than two decades of experience, Sebastien has established a formidable international transactions practice while counseling clients on their real estate needs. In addition to advising clients within the data center and digital infrastructure industry, he also advises entrepreneurs on their global development through growth and innovation, strategic M&A, fundraisings, and strategic partnerships with blue chips.
“I’m thrilled to join McDermott,” Sebastien said. “There are powerful synergies between my practice and the Firm’s cross-border M&A, private equity, and real estate platforms. McDermott’s ambition and focus on growth provide an excellent opportunity for my practice to flourish.”
“This year we have recruited eight partners in London, which is only the start of our ambition,” said Aymen Mahmoud, co-head of the London transactions practice and London office managing partner. “Sebastien’s addition continues this positive momentum and expands our cutting-edge capabilities to include data centers and digital infrastructure, dovetailing neatly with our wider transactional offering.”
