Gary Bendinger, the cochair of Howrey‘s litigation practice, is joining Sidley Austin, The Am Law Daily has learned. Two other litigation partners from Howrey’s New York office–Gregory Ballard and Kevin Burke–will join Bendinger (photo at right) at his new firm. The trio has extensive experience representing accounting firms in liability litigation.
A Sidley spokeswoman confirms the addition of the three partners, saying the group is not available to discuss the move. (A Howrey spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment on the departures.)
