Former Cahill Gordon & Reindell partner, Roger Meltzer, joined DLA Piper as the head of corporate finance. Taking with him a $20 million book of business, his presence will be missed at Cahill, where he worked for 29 years. Meltzer assured that he moved seeking new challenges, not because of any problems with his previous employer. DLA Chairman Frank Burch commented that the hire will help to expand the firm’s M&A and capital finance practices; Meltzer will also work to recruit new corporate attorneys.
