James Woolery is on the move again. We’ve never met, but I’m beginning to feel as if I know the guy.
I first covered Woolery in a June 3, 2010, post about a policy change at Cravath, Swaine & Moore. The Wall Street Journal had featured the then-41-year-old Cravath partner in an article about the firm’s plan to allow lawyers in their 30s and 40s to “make a name for themselves” by taking the lead on client deals. Historically, the Journal reported, Cravath had reserved that role for partners in their 50s.
