Litigation and antitrust partner David Goldstein has left Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe to rejoin several of his former Heller Ehrman colleagues at Farmer Brownstein Jaeger & Goldstein, a San Francisco-based boutique that has added his name to its shingle.

Goldstein and his co-worker David Brownstein joined Orrick in 2008 when Heller Ehrman’s partners voted to dissolve the 118-year-old firm. Another of their partners, Charles “Chuck” Jaeger, was recruited to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Three years after Heller Ehrman  collapsed, Brownstein and Jaeger came together and joined William “Buck” Farmer to form a boutique law firm that specializes in antitrust and other complex business litigation. Since then, the group at the firm formerly known as Farmer Brownstein Jaeger has been trying to convince Goldstein to join.
