Another former Gardere Wynne Sewell partner has departed the firm in the wake of its merger earlier this month with Foley & Lardner. Litigator Matthew Schroeder joined Akerman on April 2 as a partner in Dallas.

“The merger between Gardere and Foley presented opportunities to me at this time in my career, personally and professionally,” Schroeder said. “I had only been at Gardere.”
