Interlaw, an international network with 80-plus firms and more than 7,000 attorneys, has appointed Glenn M. Cunningham, a partner at Hartford’s Shipman & Goodwin, its newest chairman.

“It’s quite an honor,” said Cunningham, who has been an active member of Interlaw’s board of directors since 2015, serving recently as vice chairman under Michael Siebold. “We have 82 firms in about 150 cities and we’re approaching 8,000 lawyers, and at Shipman we’ve become one of the largest exporters of work into the network.”
