Joel L. Frank has been named managing partner of West Chester, Pa.-based Lamb McErlane. Frank, who specializes in commercial and civil litigation, as well as personal injury law, will assume the title in addition to his existing position as chairman of the firm’s three-member executive committee.

“I truly do appreciate the confidence all of the partners have shown in me,” Frank said. “Not to be clich�, but I’m looking forward to continuing on in the tradition of Lamb McErlane. There’s a reason I came out to this firm specifically in 1997.”
