Konstantin Konstantinov, a corporate and finance partner who joined Dechert earlier this year as part of the firm’s Moscow launch, has rejoined his former firm Chadbourne & Parke after just four months.

Dechert originally announced on 8 May that five partners, including Konstantinov, would be joining from its US rival, only to see two of them – finance partner Jennifer Handz and Russian litigator Mikhail Rozenberg – decide to remain at Chadbourne.
