Heller alumni. Where are they now?

From Amlaw: Heller: Going, Going, Gone
Since Heller announced its dissolution on September 26, their lawyers have been moving on. Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe is the latest beneficiary, picking up 27 partners, one senior counsel, and an undetermined number of associates, as announced today. Most of the lawyers had formed Heller's antitrust group, including former Heller chair Bob Rosenfeld and Larry Popofsky, a Heller cochair from 1988 to 1993. Another former Heller chair Barry Levin joins Orrick's Insurance Recovery practice.

The American Lawyer has been keeping track of these departures:

• Cooley Godward Kronish picked up 35 lawyers from Heller's Venture Law Group on October 6. The Recorder reported that the group will finally lose the distinct brand it retained even after being acquired by Heller in 2003.
• Arnold & Porter added five litigators to its business litigation and antitrust group this week, including Kenneth Chernoff, who was cochair of Heller's complex commercial litigation practice.
• Covington & Burling took on 50 lawyers October 1 to expand its IP litigation practice. Robert Haslam will spearhead the launch of the Valley office and Alan Blankenheimer, Laura Muschamp, and Jo Dale Carothers will get the San Diego office up and running. They also landed Heller insurance partners David Goodwin and Lawrence Hobel back in July.
• Eversheds scooped up Nick Seddon in late September to head the firm's new Hong Kong office, which is slated to open this month.
  
  Proskauer Rose in September launched two new Asia offices, in Hong Kong and Beijing, with former Heller partners Ying Li, who led the China Business practice, and Joseph Cha, who led Heller's Beijing office.
• Jones Day also took on a few Heller defectors in the days leading up to the dissolution. Martin Myers and Brent Cohen, who headed Heller's real estate practice, joined Jones Day's San Francisco office.
• Sheppard Mullin tapped Blaine Templeman in August to start the firm's new Biotech Clinical Contracting team.
• Bingham McCutchen landed Heller bigwig Geoffrey Aronow in August. Aranow was the managing parter of Heller's Washington, D.C., office and joined Bingham's securities practice.
• Howrey got in the game early, taking on veteran Heller litigator Paul Alexander back in May.
