Janis Meyer, the longtime general counsel at Dewey & LeBoeuf who helped the firm wind down its affairs in bankruptcy, is joining Hinshaw & Culbertson as a partner advising firms and lawyers on professional responsibility, ethics and risk management.

For about nine years, Meyer was general counsel at Dewey and predecessor firm Dewey Ballantine. She subsequently served with former partner Stephen Horvath overseeing Dewey’s 2012 bankruptcy filing and its wind-down.
