The Mets brought in Kenneth David from Kasowitz to run their legal department after James Denniston held the spot. David spent over 17 years grinding at the litigation firm and previously worked at Simpson Thacher plus Fried Frank before that. He takes over everything from business operations to baseball-side legal work and reports straight to the executive team.
David grew up blocks away from Citi Field and actually worked at Shea Stadium as a kid, which makes this kind of a full-circle moment for the guy. Lew Sherr thinks his background across different sectors will help the team handle complicated situations as they keep expanding. Denniston started as legal counsel back in 2008 and became co-general counsel later on, though his current title shows vice president on LinkedIn.
Steve Cohen owns the franchise, and the team has shuffled legal leadership around over the past few years following some workplace drama.
