    Ramy Wahbeh

    Ramy Wahbeh maintains a strong practice, advising private equity sponsors and portfolio companies on complex cross-border transactions. He currently sits as co-head of Sidley Austin's global private equity practice.

    • Ramy is very hard-working, dedicated and commercial.

    • Ramy has very strong legal knowledge and a lot of experience. He is someone who is very personable, which I think is quite rare. It does not feel like a transactional relationship.
