Alexandra Korry, one of the first women to be elected partner in Sullivan & Cromwell’s mergers and acquisitions practice, has died after a three-and-a-half-year battle with cancer.

Korry, 61, died Sept. 29. Her husband, Robin Panovka, an M&A partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and her daughters Rebecca and Sarah were by her side. Sullivan & Cromwell announced the news last week.
