Sage Hughes graduation - CU Law School
May 16, 2014 is a big day in the Gatz household (Julie Gatz is my invaluable assistant and Sage's mom) - a big day because today is the day that Sage graduates from CU law school. That is a big day for anybody but it is especially important because of all Sage has already accomplished at CU and all she will undoubtedly accomplish in NYC. She is headed to probably one of the most prestigious law firms in the entire country - Simpson, Thatcher.
For 2015, Simpson Thacher was ranked #6 on The Vault's Top 100 Most Prestigious Law Firm Rankings, and #1 in Private Equity. The firm is also recognized in various other surveys, including Vault.com’s 2010 review of the 20 Best Law Firms to Work For.
The firm has relationships with private equity firms Blackstone Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and it has longstanding ties to JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and the United States Department of the Treasury.
To have a CU grad headed to a firm with that kind of reputation is an incredible feather not only in Sage's cap but for CU Law School too. Congrats to Sage and to Phil Weiser (the dean) for such great success! I look forward to seeing all Sage with accomplish and to the other great talent that Phil and CU Law School are producing!
