Simpson Thacher & Bartlett has lost corporate partner Sean Rodgers in New York to Kirkland & Ellis, the latter of which announced his hire Monday amid its ongoing efforts to expand its roster of M&A lawyers.
Rodgers, 43, is the latest high-profile lateral hire by Kirkland, which this summer recruited former SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami only a few months after it brought on former Cravath, Swaine & Moore corporate partner Sarkis Jebejian.
