After 10 years at the helm of Duane Morris, Sheldon Bonovitz has stepped down as chairman and handed over the reins to vice chairman and litigation department head John J. Soroko.
...
Soroko, 56, said the firm was well-known in the mid-Atlantic area in 1998, but now has offices across the country and in London, Singapore and Vietnam.Revenues have increased in the last 10 years from $70 million to $375 million for 2007.
"In the course of all this, Duane Morris has earned a wide reputation for innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and forward thinking, in everything from our efficient firm administration and our ancillary businesses, to the design of our offices and, yes, our artwork," Soroko said Thursday in a response to Bonovitz's e-mail announcement to the firm that he was stepping down.
...
The 10-year mark, Soroko said in an interview, was a good breaking point for Bonovitz, who plans to stay active in the firm as chairman emeritus.
...
"My goal is to be helpful to John as he assumes the chairmanship, but certainly not be intrusive," Bonovitz said in the e-mail to the firm Thursday.
...
Soroko said he has had great training over the past few years at Bonovitz's side and doesn't anticipate any major changes in the way the firm will be run.
He said there are no immediate plans to name a new vice chairman -- a position that has only sometimes been filled within the firm.
While he will continue to advise clients and argue cases on appeal, Soroko said he doesn't plan on practicing full time.
...
While that hasn't happened yet, Soroko said Bonovitz "accomplished an awful lot" and Soroko will look to continue the firm's growth.
