Jonathan Drucker, the former top lawyer for Godiva Chocolatier Inc. and Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., has joined boutique legal recruiting firm Whistler Partners in New York. 

“I’ve spent my entire legal career in New York. I’ve been here for about 35 years. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people and I was ready to do something a little different and novel and innovative,” Drucker said Wednesday in an interview.
