Dean’s Roundtable with John J. Suydam, Esq. ’85, General Counsel & Chief Administrative & Compliance Officer of Apollo Management L.P. on Thursday, October 22, 2009
Regularly during the school year, the Dean hosts roundtable discussions with prominent guests who have utilized their law degrees in a variety of nontraditional ways. Over lunch with a small group of students, guests speak autobiographically about their work experiences, sharing valuable insight about how they found their chosen path. Please note that the roundtables are informal and off-the-record.
John Suydam ’85, the General Counsel & Chief Administrative & Compliance Officer of Apollo Management, L.P. will be the Dean’s guest on Thursday, October 22. From 2002-06, John was a partner at O’Melveny & Myers LLP, where he served as head of Mergers & Acquisitions Practice and co-head of the Corporate Department. Prior to that, he served as chairman of the law firm O’Sullivan, LLP (formerly, O’Sullivan, Grave & Karabell,) which specialized in representing private equity investors.
He also serves on the board of directors of the Private Equity Council and the Big Apple Circus and is a Trustee of St. Agnes Cathedral Parish in Rockville Centre, NY.
John earned a J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1985, and he graduated magna cum laude with a BA in History from the State University of New York at Albany.
The dean’s roundtables are open to 18 interested NYU School of Law J.D. and graduate students. In order to achieve a representational mix of students, we will designate a proportionate number of seats to J.D. students and graduate students, respectively, to be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The roundtables will begin at 12:30 p.m. in Snow Dining Room, on the fourth floor of Vanderbilt Hall. Lunch will be served. If you would like to attend a roundtable, please sign up in advance by calling Barry Dorsey at (212) 998-6004 or by emailing her at barry.dorsey@nyu.edu. Please indicate whether you are a J.D. or graduate student, and whether you have any dietary restrictions.
