Two of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s former leaders might be awaiting their fate in a New York court on criminal charges stemming from the firm’s stunning collapse five years ago this month, but the former head of its telecommunications group is setting up shop at McGuireWoods.
McGuireWoods announced last week its hire of Eric Cowan from Squire Patton Boggs, where he was once managing partner of that firm’s New York office, to serve as head of its global media and entertainment practice. Cowan will initially be based in Baltimore, but not because of Maryland’s tax credits that attract film financiers. Instead, he’s admitted to the state bar and also owns a home near Chesapeake Bay.
