&lt;p&gt;A move that is not without precedent, JPMorgan Chase has hired a big swinging lawyer, James Woolery (no relation to game-show host Chuck, I don&#39;t think), from a big swinging law firm, Cravath, Swaine &amp;amp; Moore, to co-head its big swinging North American M&amp;amp;A group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 41-year-old Woolery has extensive experience in M&amp;amp;A, albeit on the side of the law. &quot;He has advised on deals such as Universal Health Services Inc.&#39;s acquisition of Psychiatric Solutions Inc. and Merck &amp;amp; Co.&#39;s takeover of Schering-Plough Corp.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woolery is only the latest in a long line of lawyers to make the leap to the banking business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Cravath partner Robert Kindler left to become a banker at Chase Manhattan Corp., now part of JPMorgan, and another partner, George Billic, went to Merrill Lynch &amp;amp; Co. In 2005, Dennis Hersch left Davis Polk &amp;amp; Wardwell LLP to join JPMorgan.&quot; And &quot;among bankruptcy lawyers, Harvey Miller of Weil Gotshal &amp;amp; Manges LLP and James Sprayregen of Kirkland &amp;amp; Ellis LLP both entered banking in the last decade and later returned.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Bloomberg)&lt;/p&gt;
