Frankenheimer will serve as Loeb & Loeb’s chair emeritus, while focusing on his music and entertainment practice. He will also continue in his role as chair of Loeb & Loeb’s music industry practice group.
“It has been my privilege to serve as Co-Chair of Loeb & Loeb through an incredible period of growth and accomplishment for the firm,” commented Frankenheimer. “I am confident our success will continue under the expert direction of my friend and colleague Michael Beck and the other members of firm management.”

Beck succeeded Levine in 2003.

Loeb & Loeb has seen revenue and profits rise steadily under his leadership, while expanding strategically in key client markets and practice areas. The firm has enjoyed 11 consecutive years of record profits. Measures of the firm’s performance during Frankenheimer’s tenure include:
“John is the architect and inspiration behind our strategy of focusing on excellence in our core practices and core industries,” said Beck. “Through a streamlined corporate management style and focused strategy, we have been incredibly successful. The firm will continue to focus on its strengths and I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence we have built together.”
