Alumni Testimonials

“I really loved my experience at Debevoise and, since going in-house, I’ve stayed very connected to the partners and associates I’ve worked with. I serve on a board with a litigation partner who has been a mentor since I was a summer associate more than 10 years ago.”

– Cari Gallman, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs – Bristol-Meyers Squibb

“My experience at Debevoise helped in my transition to being general counsel for a large asset management firm. At Debevoise, I learned to trust in your common sense, your ability to learn and think on your feet. Debevoise gave me that courage and confidence.”

– Peter Alderman, General Counsel – Americas, GoldenTree Asset Management
