On December 8, 2009, SMR Legal Search sponsored the annual Pennsylvania Managing Partners' Breakfast held at Morton's Steakhouse in Philadelphia. This event was organized by The Legal Intelligencer and included a presentation given by Ward Bower, a principal at Altman Weil. Mr. Bower analyzed the findings of The Legal Intelligencer's informative 14th annual Managing Partners Survey, compared them to national trends and provided his thoughts at to what lies ahead for Pennsylvania law firms in 2010.

This breakfast was a wonderful opportunity for managing partners of firms throughout the state of Pennsylvania to get together and discuss what worked in 2009 and what did not and how best to position their firms for a successful 2010. It was also an enjoyable event including a delicious steak and eggs breakfast and catching up with old friends. SMR Legal Search legal recruiters, Susan Rubinovitz and Stephanie Ristvey were on hand to consult with the managing partners on topics ranging from the current legal market to diversity initiatives.
