In an M&A Newsmaker profile in The Texas Lawbook, Sidley Austin’sSara Garcia Duran discusses the journey that led her to the legal practice, her love for problem solving and experience working in the M&A space as a woman.  

“Until last year, I had only ever been opposite a woman partner on a deal less than five times … but now we’re getting closer to eight or 10. But it’s not every day, and it’s definitely not every deal, but it’s starting to be more,” said Ms. Duran, a partner in Sidley’s Dallas office. “We have many young women associates in the group and now have a second woman partner. That will change over time, but it takes time. However, it has not been my experience that we are the vast majority.”
