Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine was an American white-shoe law firm, located in New York. It was founded in 1929 by General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, who was often referenced as the Father of the CIA. The firm dissolved in 1998. Its notable antitrust cases include a series of lawsuits involving American Cyanamid in the 1960s and Kodak. The firm closed its doors after 40 of the firm's 60 lawyers were hired by Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, a large California law firm that was expanding aggressively in Manhattan.
