Throwback Thursday birthday: The Tipline for 17 January 2019

Former Sidley Austin associate Michelle Robinson turns 55 today. Robinson, who worked at the firm for three years beginning in 1988, was part of a team that represented AT&T in its hostile takeover bid for NCR and acted for Union Carbide against a challenge from the Federal Trade Commission as it sought to make a sale to Arco. Robinson would later mentor one of the firm’s summer associates – Barack Obama – whom she married in 1992.
