Renowned law firm Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP is gearing up for a change in leadership. The head of the firm’s private equity funds group is poised to take over as chair from David Greenwald in the coming year, marking an end to Greenwald’s impactful 10-year tenure in this position. The incoming change, announced Thursday, is timed with the creation of two new leadership roles within the firm, namely Vice Chair and Managing Partner.
Whilst the particulars surrounding the incoming chair or the individuals stepping into the newly created leadership roles are not explicated, this could signify a refined strategic inclination for the firm. The transition and the fresh vice chair and managing partner positions could also suggest a drive to strengthen overall leadership and organizational scope at the firm.
