Dewey Law Firm Adds Four Partners to Chairman’s Office

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, the New York-based law firm that lost its insurance group to other firms this month, is creating a new chairman’s office with five co-equal members, including the heads of its most profitable groups, according to a letter to the partners obtained by Bloomberg News.

The new members include the heads of its bankruptcy, corporate, litigation and public policy practice groups, according to the letter, which also provides current revenue data. Current Chairman Steven Davis, who will relocate to London, will be joined in the chairman’s office by Martin Bienenstock, who runs the firm’s restructuring group; Rich Shutran, head of the corporate department; Jeffrey Kessler, head of litigation; and Charles Landgraf, who runs the Washington office and the legislative and public policy group, according to the letter.
