Dewey & LeBoeuf has lost a Washington-based partner to Schiff Hardin, the lawyer’s new firm announced on Monday.
Geoffrey Coll, who joined the now-embattled Dewey in 1998, is a partner in Schiff Hardin's litigation group. He focuses on regulatory, criminal and civil matters, including internal investigations, shareholder class actions, complex commercial disputes, grand jury inquiries and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement actions.
“For me, it was a good opportunity,” Coll said. “And I’m looking forward to it.”
More than 100 partners have left Dewey since Jan. 11, according to data from The American Lawyer, an affiliate of The National Law Journal. Sources told the publication last week that the firm is ready to close its doors by May 15, if not before.
