As the Dewey & LeBoeuf criminal retrial draws to a close, two former lawyers from the now-defunct firm, Ivan Presant and Jeffrey Meyers, are joining McDermott Will & Emery’s New York office as partners in its corporate and transactional group.

Meyers spent nearly 22 years at Dewey & LeBoeuf and its predecessors before joining Stroock & Stroock & Lavan in September 2009. At Stroock, Meyers served as chair of the firm’s energy and project finance practice, specializing in large-scale energy transactions and financings throughout the Americas and Caribbean.
