Nearly a year after calling off merger talks with Crowell & Moring, New York-based Herrick Feinstein has hired Morris DeFeo Jr., a key Crowell partner in the merger due diligence talks, to serve as co-chair of the firm’s corporate practice.
DeFeo was co-chair of Crowell’s corporate group and led Crowell’s Middle East and North Africa practice. He will now help lead Herrick’s corporate practice alongside co-chair Stephen Jacobs, and will help re-open the firm’s Washington, D.C., office. He will split his time between New York and Washington.
