A top lawyer in Mayer Brown‘s global finance practice is leaving the firm to join Dewey & LeBoeuf.

Marshall Stoddard, 57, who served as co-chair of Mayer Brown’s global finance practice and was the relationship partner to Bank of America, will become the U.S. head of bank and institutional finance at Dewey, resident in the New York and Los Angeles offices. Stoddard, who is leaving Mayer Brown following a high-profile management shake-up, says he was attracted by Dewey’s more stable leadership team.
