Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP co-chairmen Jeffrey Kessler and Richard Shutran left to join rival law firms, leaving just two members of Dewey’s new chairman's office in place, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Kessler, head of litigation, will start next week at Winston & Strawn LLP, said the firm's chairman, Dan Webb. Winston & Strawn has hired 22 litigation partners and one energy partner from Dewey. Shutran, head of Dewey's corporate department, will join O'Melveny & Myers LLP with four other Dewey partners, that firm said yesterday.
