US: Dechert grows antitrust team with Buchanan hire

By  |  February 7, 2016

In a rare lateral move for Dechert in Philadelphia, the firm has hired an antitrust partner who has served as a member of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney’s six-person leadership team.

Steven E. Bizar began at Dechert on Feb. 4 after 15 years with Buchanan Ingersoll, where he served in various leadership positions over the years, including most recently as an executive shareholder.

Bizar is bringing a portion of his antitrust litigation practice to Dechert because of the larger, international platform it provides and because of the working relationship he has developed with some of Dechert’s antitrust partners in the last nearly 10 years.

“I represent foreign multinationals and it is critical to be able to represent them in as many markets as possible,” Bizar said of why it was an easy decision for him to move his practice to Dechert.
