With two well-known defense litigators with Philadelphia ties making the jump to the plaintiffs side in the last week and at least two others having done so since the start of the year, there’s a growing sense that such switches are no longer as atypical as they once were.
At the beginning of the year, Dechert’s former technology committee chair Benjamin Barnett left to join Seeger Weiss. More recently, litigator Jeremy Abay left Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti to jumpstart Boston-based Lichten & Liss-Riordan’s South Jersey office, Fox Rothschild’s Stephan Cornell jumped to Eisenberg, Rothweiler, Winkler, Eisenberg & Jeck’s Philadelphia office, and veteran Swartz Campbell litigator Gregory Stokes moved to Green & Schafle’s Philadelphia outpost.
