LeClairRyan has selected David C. Freinberg, a shareholder in its Newark, N.J. office, to become its next CEO.
Freinberg, who’d led the firm’s 75-employee Newark office, will officially assume responsibilities as CEO no later than the fall of 2012, following a management transition period.
The firm’s co-founder, chairman and CEO, Gary LeClair, will retain his role as chairman once Freinberg’s transition into the CEO role is complete.
In the press release at the firm’s site, Gary LeClair was quoted as saying: “We are fortunate to have a leader with an extraordinary commitment to excellent client service accept the reigns of our client-focused business strategies. I am confident that, with David’s proven leadership, our externally driven strategies will remain LeClairRyan’s core mission and that our best days are indeed ahead of us.”
Freinberg was quoted as saying: “LeClairRyan has a tremendous client-driven structure that is focused on making sure that we are delivering the highest quality of client service and counsel possible. This is a wonderful opportunity to lead and work with an energetic team of nationally dispersed attorneys and professionals who are very dedicated to their profession. I am fortunate that I have been chosen to be a steward of a truly great, forward-thinking firm.”
Freinberg has held numerous managerial positions within the firm. He focuses his legal practice on commercial real estate transactions, and general business matters.
LeClairRyan was founded in 1988 by LeClair and Ryan. With over 300 attorneys and nine offices, LeClairRyan provides business counsel and client representation in corporate law and high-stakes litigation for a wide variety of clients throughout the nation.
