Morgan, Lewis & Bockius is preparing now for the elevation this October of litigation department head Jami Wintz McKeon to serve as chairwoman of the firm.

McKeon handed over her leadership responsibilities of the firmwide litigation practice to Philadelphia office managing partner J. Gordon Cooney Jr. in March and, in turn, Cooney is handing over his office leadership responsibilities to investment management and securities industry partner Timothy W. Levin. Levin was set to officially take over those duties Sunday.
