This growth has propelled it into the ranks of the 25 largest firms in the United States by domestic attorney headcount (per Law360), and into the Am Law 100 (per American Lawyer). Accompanying this growth the firm has adapted its leadership structure within the key Northern California market.

He will now focus on leading the firm's increasingly unified efforts across Northern California, in addition to his other management duties.
Marie Trimble Holvick has transitioned into the role of Managing Partner, Bay Area offices. Holvick demonstrated the skill and readiness for this challenge while serving as Assistant Office Managing Partner for the Bay Area (2017-2022). She will be assisted by Partner, Lindsey Romano, who assumes the role as Assistant Office Managing Partner, Bay Area offices. Romano has distinguished herself as an exceptional and dedicated leader and is a welcome addition to the firm's leadership team.
