Dechert Announces New Dual Leadership
Dechert announced its star litigator and top rainmaker Andrew Levander as the firm’s new chairman-elect yesterday, the first firm chairman to be based outside of the firm’s Philadelphia headquarters. Private equity group head and vice chairman G. Daniel O’Donnell was also selected as the firm’s future CEO.
Barton Winokur, the firm’s current chair and CEO, will step down in mid-2011 after 15 years of leadership that focused on establishing and building higher-end and higher priced practices, the Am Law Daily reports.
The intricacies of the dual leadership will be forged throughout the next year as the firm adjusts to a New York City-based central command.
