Dallas-based business law firm Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal has named trial lawyer Monica W. Latin as managing partner, effective May 1. Latin, who has been practicing at the firm for more than half of Carrington Coleman’s 50-year history, succeeds Bruce Collins, who has held the position since 2013. She was named managing partner-elect in May 2019, is a member of the firm’s executive committee and has served for many years as chair of the firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group. Latin intends to maintain her active trial and appellate practice and will continue representing clients on a regular basis.

“This is both a tremendous honor and a great responsibility, and I welcome it,” Latin said in a statement by the firm. “To have the opportunity to continue the rich tradition and high standard of ethics and client service this firm has established over 50 years is something I look forward to doing.”
