"Yakub Hazzard, who began his legal career almost 40 years ago at Mitchell Sliberberg and has been back with the firm for the past seven years, serving for the past year as the vice chair, is the new chair, the firm announced Tuesday.
Hazzard assumes the chair position immediately, succeeding Greg Hessinger, who served as firm chair for 15 months and is leaving the firm to become president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
'I'm honored to assume the role of chair at MSK. It's been a long journey, having started here as a paralegal nearly 40 years ago," Hazzard told Law360 in a Tuesday interview. "I'm very excited about the opportunity and the responsibility and the bright future that the firm has consistent with the new strategic plan that we've implanted.'"
