Jeff Haidet spent 36 years leading the growth of McKenna Long & Aldridge and Dentons in Atlanta. Now, he is seeing the same growth opportunity at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner—including joining with another former Dentons partner to create what he said is "one of the top U.S.-based Korean practices."

Haidet late last month joined BCLP's Atlanta office as a corporate partner after more than 36 years as a partner and chairman with Dentons and predecessor firms, McKenna Long & Aldridge and Long Aldridge & Norman.
