Three leading lights of Cooley Godward – Richard Climan, Keith Flaum and Eric Reifschneider – have defected to Dewey & LeBoeuf.
Leading M&A lawyers Climan and Flaum are rainmakers and longtime leaders at Cooley. Reifschneder was the head of Cooley’s tech transactions group.
A huge score for Dewey, which has struggled to even maintain a presence in Silicon Valley, the move shocked lawyers and recruiters throughout the state.
