After a decade of leadership, David Greenwald is set to retire from his position as Chair of Fried Frank. Greenwald’s tenure, beginning as a young attorney at the firm, witnessed a brief departure to Goldman Sachs only to conclude where it originated. His retirement is scheduled to take place in early 2024.
Over his leadership period, Greenwald has successfully navigated the firm through significant financial growth and unpredictable challenges like a global pandemic. According to the American Lawyer, Fried Frank’s revenue has grown from just under $500 million in 2013, when Greenwald assumed his position, to nearly $1 billion in the fiscal year of 2023.
Upon Greenwald’s step-down, asset management partner Kenneth Rosh will assume the role of Chair. Currently, Rosh leads the firm’s private equity funds group and is a member of the firm’s governance committee. His Chair responsibilities will commence in March 2024, concurrent with the beginning of the new fiscal year. Adding to this change, M&A and private equity partner Steven Epstein will serve as the managing partner alongside Rosh, while litigation partner Scott Luftglass will assume the role of vice chair.
We extend our congratulations to David Greenwald for his commendable service and to Kenneth Rosh on his forthcoming role as the Chair of the firm.
