Meet the top lawyer challenging Gianni Infantino’s Fifa power playPhoto by Pablo Morano/BSR Agency/Getty ImagesUefa has enlisted a leading US white-collar expert as legal tensions escalate over Gianni Infantino’s unsuccessful Fifa World Cup sell-off. US legal giant Dechert’s former Chair, Andrew Levander, has been nabbed by the European body, which informed Zurich-headquartered Fifa his client was “actively considering legal action, arbitration, and/or regulatory complaints”. The body opted for a US law firm as it gives it jurisdictional leverage for its probe and potential legal action in this matter. He has been at the BigLaw giant since 2005, serving as Chair from 2011 until 2023 in the New York office of the law firm. This is not the first time Fifa has faced legal action on the other side of the Pond.
