Barley Snyder has elected labor and employment attorney Jennifer Craighead Carey to be its first female managing partner, taking over the position from longtime firm leader Jeffrey Lobach.
Carey’s election to the position was unanimous after serving 30 years with the firm. She started her two-year term on Jan. 1, after Lobach concluded his fifth term as managing partner. Carey, who joined the firm directly out of law school, served as a practice chair for the labor and employment department for 14 years before joining the firm’s management committee in 2021.
