- No Retirement for Legend
No one would have blamed Robert M. Morgenthau for finally deciding to retire. After all, he is 90 years old, and he just finished a 35-year run as the district attorney for Manhattan. But Morgenthau instead has joined the powerhouse firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. He had reporters over to his new office on the 31st floor of West 52nd St. yesterday. His new space was estimated by the Times City Room blog to be about a third of the size of his office as DA. Corporate partner and Lawdragon 500 member Daniel Neff, who also is co-chairman of the executive committee, explained the acquisition this way: “He’s got a remarkable wealth of experience, contacts and judgment. We will just see how it goes.” Morgenthau told reporters this was his third time in private practice, with the last time being in 1974.
