When he was the managing partner at the Stamford, Conn., office of Dreier LLP, Joseph M. Pastore III handpicked a group of lawyers to work at the financial litigation firm. Much of the group’s work involved defending brokerage firms against charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Among the lawyers Pastore brought in were Leanne M. Shofi and William M. Dailey. They worked closely together, but time and circumstances pulled the trio apart. “We always joked about getting the band back together,” Pastore said.
