Philadelphia-based intellectual property boutique Caesar, Rivise, Bernstein, Cohen & Pokotilow has changed its leadership, with David M. Tener taking over the managing partner post from Manny D. Pokotilow, who held the position for about two decades.

Tener said the transition has been in the works for at least the past two years, when the firm switched to an executive committee leadership model with the goal of eventually electing a new managing partner.
