Duane Morris has made Kirk Domescik its new managing partner in Atlanta. Domescik, who has been with the Philadelphia-based firm for a decade, is taking over from L. Norwood "Woody" Jameson, who'd headed the Atlanta office for five years.

Jameson became the leader of Duane Morris' national intellectual property practice at the beginning of 2012, which he said is taking a lot of his time. He's been making a lot of trips to Silicon Valley, he said, building an IP-focused office in Palo Alto that Duane Morris opened in January.
