Steven Eckhaus, known for representing executives in large compensation deals, is moving his practice later this week from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft to McDermott Will & Emery.

Eckhaus, 64, and two other Cadwalader lawyers from the same practice group—special counsel Shane Stroud and senior attorney Evan Belosa—will join him as partners at McDermott. Eckhaus will lead his new firm’s employee benefits, executive compensation and labor and employment practice in New York.
