Reed Smith’s new managing partner of the firm’s Century City office credits his approachability as one reason he landed the leadership role.

“I think the word they used was I’m ‘affable,’” said Ernie Ocampo, who officially stepped into the position this month. “I’m easy to talk to, and part of that is making sure that in my role as an OMP that the office continues to feel like a welcoming environment for people.”
