Thelen Revolving Door: 4 More Partners Defect—But 2 Return

Four energy and project finance partners have joined the continuing brain drain from Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner, although two former partners have announced plans to return.

Thomas Glascock, Leslie Sherman, David Spielberg and Mark Weitzel are leaving the firm's San Francisco office for Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, reports American Lawyer, in an article reprinted by New York Lawyer (reg. req.).

Meanwhile, two former partners are returning from in-house counsel positions in construction-related fields: Jeffrey Cruz is coming back to the New York office from Bear Stearns, and Melissa Callahan Lesmes is returning to the Washington, D.C., office from Dietz Construction Group in Ashburn, Va.
