In this episode of S&C Sidebar, Jay Clayton, Senior Policy Advisor and Of Counsel to Sullivan & Cromwell, is joined by Benjamin Beller, a partner who focuses on restructuring matters. Jay talks with Ben about his work in areas of untested law, including in the FTX bankruptcy, and the importance for younger associates to take ownership of client relationships and their careers.
“One piece of advice that I always give is, every single phone call, every single meeting that you go into, you should be prepared to lead that phone call even if you’re never going to be doing it,” says Ben.
