Crowell & Moring Snags Cravath Environmental Partner

New York-based partner Jeffrey A. Smith has joined Crowell & Moring’s Environment & Natural Resources and Corporate groups in New York.

In an interview with The American Lawyer, Smith said that “he faced a ‘difficult choice’ about whether to leave Cravath, but that his ‘entrepreneurial spirit’ couldn't resist what he calls the ‘diversity of opportunity’ presented by Crowell's offer to join its corporate and environmental and natural resources practice groups.”

Placements announcing Smith's arrival have also included the New York Times, Reuters, Law360, ABA Journal, E&E News, Am Law Daily, New York Law Journal, and others.
