Sidley Austin announces Michael J. Schmidtberger as its new Chair of its Executive Committee. Schmidtberger has been a part of Sidley for the past 28 years and has been in leadership roles for the past 15. In this time, he has gained a favorable reputation with his colleagues, so it is no surprise to hear so much praise from them. “Mike is an incredible talent and highly respected by both clients and colleagues,” said Larry Barden, Chair of the Management Committee. “In our work together on the Management and Executive Committees, I know him to be a strategic thinker who takes a thoughtful and measured approach to addressing complex issues. Collaboration comes naturally to Mike. I look forward to working together in delivering exceptional results for our clients.”
