Change has arrived at three Am Law 100 firms, with Mayer Brown, Fulbright & Jaworski, and Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton electing partners to new firm leadership roles.
At Mayer Brown, corporate and securities partner Paul Theiss—who has spent his entire 27-year career at the firm—assumed the role of chairman as of June 1. Theiss succeeds employment partner Herbert Krueger (both Theiss and Krueger are based in Chicago, where Mayer Brown has its roots). Krueger, 64, was elected chairman in 2009, after Mayer Brown unveiled a new management structure that reestablished the managing partner position (Kenneth Geller currently holds that title). Krueger is ineligible to serve another term due to age limits contained in the firm’s partnership agreement.
Theiss, 52, will serve a three-year term in his new post at the firm, which he joined in 1985 after graduating from the University of Chicago Law School. He is also a member of Mayer Brown’s management committee and is a former coleader of the firm’s global corporate and securities practice. As a partner, he has advised clients on various aspects of M&A and capital markets work.
