Former U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno joined McCarter & English in Philadelphia this week, concluding a three-decade tenure on the federal bench that saw him deconsolidate a massive asbestos litigation and preside over cases involving Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey.

The first Cuban American to serve as a federal judge and the first Latino federal judge in Pennsylvania, Robreno stepped down from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania bench Aug. 31 before starting at the firm on Tuesday.
