Gary Werner, managing partner, chair and construction law practice co-chair at Schenck Price Smith & King, has come to be known for his mentorship since joining the Florham Park-based firm roughly two decades ago.

The firm offered several testimonials from Werner’s mentees, including from Ryder Ulon, litigation department co-chair, who said Werner’s “willingness both to listen and share his insights without reservation has been the cornerstone of many successful careers.” Michael Serafino, chief compliance and litigation officer at Lendlease, who spent several years at Schenck Price before joining the company, said: ”I still regularly rely on Gary’s wisdom more than a decade after I left Schenck Price. I can say with confidence, I would not be where I am professionally or who I am as a man without Gary’s support and tutelage. No one has had a more profound impact on my life.” Other testimonials from current firm attorneys point to Werner’s passion for mentorship and his genuine interest in their development.
