On The Move: Charles “Rick” Rule

Congratulations to Charles “Rick” Rule who joined Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft from Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson.  As Cadwalader lost its entire antitrust practice earlier this year to Skadden its recruitment of Rule is hardly unexpected.  Also, expect more dominos to fall.  Although the Cadwalader press release only mentions Rule, expect other attorneys from Fried Frank to join Cadwalader shortly.  According to the press release:

Mr. Rule joined Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP in 2001, following his tenure as a partner at the Washington law firm of Covington & Burling where he was chairman of the firm’s antitrust and trade regulation practice group. Prior to private practice, he held various positions with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Justice Department, including serving as William Baxter’s special assistant and as acting head of the Division, before, in 1986, becoming the youngest person ever to be confirmed to the position of Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division.

The New York Law Journal has a short article on the move.
