Akerman announced on Monday that its former longtime chairman and CEO, Andrew Smulian, is replacing firm head David Spector after less than a year and is once again assuming leadership of the firm, a move that came as a shock to the legal community.
Spector’s ascension to the top spot at Akerman had been heralded as a generational shift. Smulian, 72, was the 35th attorney to join the firm’s Miami office in 1995. Before Spector, 47, took over in February, he had been the CEO for a decade.
