Former Robins Kaplan partner David Leichtman has left the Am Law 200 firm to start his own boutique in New York focused on intellectual property and business litigation.

Leichtman will be joined at the boutique, dubbed Leichtman Law, by five other commercial and IP litigators, according to a statement issued Thursday. The team includes three other former Robins Kaplan lawyers—Richard A. Mescon, Matthew McFarlane and Tatsuya Adachi—along with David Brill, who previously served as general counsel of Gemini Trust Co., and Shevani Jaisingh, a former Sullivan & Cromwell and Greenberg Traurig associate.
