Real-life ‘Law & Order’ DA joins NYC law firm
NEW YORK — “Law & Order,” meet “The Practice.”
Former Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau has joined the New York law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.
The model for the original DA on TV’s “Law & Order” retired from his post recently at age 90 after 35 years on the job.
Morgenthau said Wednesday in a news release that he has long admired his new firm because it has helped to advance law and the legal profession. The firm represents many financial institutions.
Morgenthau has worked in the private sector and served as a federal prosecutor. Cyrus Vance Jr. was elected to replace him and took office Jan. 1.
