New York litigation boutique Chaffetz Lindsey has picked up veteran trial lawyer and former Walt Disney Co. executive Sanford Litvack from Hogan Lovells, Litvack's new firm announced Tuesday.
Litvack, who goes by “Sandy,” comes to Chaffetz Lindsey as a partner after several years in a senior counsel role in the litigation department at Hogan Lovells, a firm he joined in 2004. Prior to that, he practiced for a short period at both Dewey Ballantine and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan after departing Disney in 2000.
Explaining the reasons for the switch, Litvack said in an interview on Tuesday that he was drawn to the boutique model adopted by Chaffetz Lindsey, a firm started about a decade ago by a group of former Clifford Chance partners. Chaffetz Lindsey now has 26 lawyers overall, 11 of them partners.
