"Dan brings to our Board vast experience with a broad range of US and international corporate transactional and governance issues," says Craig Smith, President of Tiedemann Wealth Management. "While Dan has been a friend of the firm for years, we are particularly excited that, upon his retirement as a partner at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP at the end of 2011, he chose to make Tiedemann a central part of the next phase of his professional career."
"I am delighted to join the board at this exciting time for Tiedemann. The firm has a significant opportunity to grow and to capitalize on the investment in infrastructure and operations made over the last several years," says Sternberg. "In addition to helping guide the firm during this next stage of development, I will also bring to the board more than three decades experience counseling corporate directors and I look forward to sharing the fruits of that experience with my new colleagues at Tiedemann."
Sternberg was a partner in the leading international law firm, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, for twenty-three years from 1988 through 2011, including five years (1991-1996) as a resident partner in the firm’s Paris office and is now Senior Counsel to the firm. Over his 30-year career as a corporate lawyer, Sternberg counselled a broad range of US and international clients across the spectrum of corporate issues and transactions. Sternberg has been recognised as a leading M&A and corporate governance lawyer by, among others, Chambers USA, the International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers and Who’s Who of Corporate Governance Lawyers. He has been a long time member and is the former Chairman of the New York City Bar Association’s Committee on Mergers and Acquisitions and Corporate Control Contests.
