Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin lost its former litigation group chairman, H. Joseph Escher, to Dechert this week. Escher, who gained prominence as lead California counsel for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in class action, governmental and product liability matters, said he was drawn to Dechert because of its ranking in defense litigation. The latest in a string of partners to leave Howard Rice in recent months, Escher said his decision was not related to his former colleagues' departures.
