Dewey Ballantine has hired two more corporate partners from the New York office of Reed Smith. Following two other former Reed Smith lawyers, John J. Altorelli and Jeffrey A. Potash, Patrick de Carbuccia and Alexander G. Fraser are joining Dewey as partners in the structured finance group. De Carbuccia and Fraser both focus on general corporate transactions, with a particular emphasis on private equity funds. Dewey is working on building up its structured finance practice in anticipation of the increased use of “asset-backed byouts” by private equity groups.
