Alston & Bird has expanded its corporate transactions and securities capabilities with the addition of Jeremy Silverman and Soren Lindstrom as partners in the firm’s Atlanta and Dallas offices, respectively. Silverman joins from Dentons and Lindstrom from McDermott Will & Emery LLP.

A community leader, Silverman serves as chairman of Autism Speaks Georgia and is an advisory board member of both Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.

Lindstrom has a broad M&A and capital markets practice based on 20 years of experience advising clients in a number of industries, including technology, telecommunications, private equity, life sciences, health care, and industrials. He represents public and private companies in U.S. and international M&A, tender offers, and strategic alliances, in addition to advising clients in IPOs and other securities transactions and providing counsel on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission compliance and general corporate governance.

A native of Denmark who is qualified in Denmark and speaks multiple languages, Lindstrom regularly advises Scandinavian and other European companies in U.S. legal matters, including M&A. He is a founding member of the Danish-American Chamber of Commerce Southwest and a board member of the Texas General Counsel Forum.
