Sidley Austin LLP is an American multinational law firm with approximately 2,300 lawyers in 21 offices worldwide. It was established in 1866 and its headquarters is at One South Dearborn in Chicago's Loop.[1] It is one of the largest law firms in the world in terms of revenue. Among its alumni are former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.[8]
Barry and Big Mike are alumni… interesting.
A new biography about Michelle Obama discusses in detail what she didn’t like about her job, early in her career, as an associate attorney at Sidley Austin.
Ambitious and eager for responsibility, she found a number of assignments unexciting, reports the Chicago Sun-Times, summarizing a lengthy Sunday magazine article in the Washington Post by author Liza Mundy. Plus, more so than most associates, Obama, whose name at the time was Michelle Robinson, didn’t hesitate to push hard for better work.
“Not many people went over my head,” recalls Quincy White, a now-retired partner at Sidley who headed the firm’s marketing practice at the time. But Robinson did, complaining to Sidley’s human resources department.
He and an HR representative talked, agreeing that Robinson, essentially, was “complaining that she’s being treated like she’s a second-year associate,” recounts an excerpt from Mundy’s book, titled simply Michelle. Says White: “I couldn’t give her something that would meet her sense of ambition to change the world.”
Focusing on her career, the 25-year-old had told her mother, in the summer of 1989, that she wasn’t going to worry about dating, the Post article says. But then she was assigned to mentor Barack Obama, who was a 27-year-old law student and summer associate at the time.
Today, of course, he is the Democratic presidential nominee, and Michelle Obama is his wife of nearly 16 years.
In 2001, the firm merged with Brown & Wood, a New York-based law firm established in 1914 with 400 attorneys and additional domestic offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles and overseas branches in London, Beijing and Hong Kong (where it practiced English law in addition to U.S. law). Brown & Wood was known for its securities, structured finance and securitization practices. Brown & Wood had offices in the World Trade Center on floors 54 and 56-59.[13]

And there is is… 9/11 WTC connection… very interesting…
In an effort to bulk up in a period of strong law firm consolidation, Brown & Wood explored a merger with fellow New York firm White & Case in 1998, but these talks were described as "preliminary in nature." Brown & Wood eventually merged with Sidley & Austin in 2001. Shortly thereafter, the legacy Brown & Wood's offices in the World Trade Center were destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.[3] The firm relocated its New York operations to midtown Manhattan.
Brown & Wood notable attorney.. Charles Li – Chinese banker, former CEO of Hong Kong Stock Exchange

In 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported that Charles Li, while he was chairman of JP Morgan China from 2003 to 2009, recommended hiring the children and associates of Chinese officials, clients and potential future clients. At the time, JP Morgan was investigated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Department of Justice into possible violation of anti-bribery laws by improperly hiring relatives of Chinese officials, known as "princelings", to win business.[2]
