Providing needed legal services to the broader community is a prototypical top priority for leaders of bar associations across Pennsylvania, but Montgomery County’s incoming president said he is aiming to take a unique approach to the issue—one that draws directly from his somewhat unusual practice niche.

Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford attorney Gregory R. Gifford is set to be sworn in as Montgomery County Bar Association’s president during the group’s annual business luncheon Friday. He takes over the bar leadership position from Mary C. Pugh, who is executive director of the Montgomery Child Advocacy Project (MCAP).
