More than a decade after leading 10 lawyers from Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney to the Philadelphia office of labor and employment boutique Littler Mendelson, Thomas Bender will now lead Littler along with San Diego shareholder Jeremy Roth.
Littler announced earlier this week the leadership change, in which Bender and Roth will take over for outgoing president and managing director Marko Mrkonich effective January 20, 2013. Bender and Roth will each serve as co-presidents and managing directors for an eight-year term. Each brings different skill sets to the job, Bender said, with Roth having helped the firm expand into Latin America and Bender sitting on the firm’s financial committees and holding other leadership positions within Littler.
