A corporate partner who led Dorsey & Whitney’s New York office for the past seven years has moved to Troutman Sanders, saying his client list and Troutman’s breadth of expertise will fit together well.

Steven Khadavi, managing partner of Dorsey’s New York office since 2012, left the firm Monday and started Tuesday as a partner at Troutman, an Atlanta-based firm. While he doesn’t have a management role at his new firm, he said he looks forward to seeing what services he can offer its clients and how Troutman can service his longtime clients.
