Ira Coleman said that as McDermott’s new Chair he will focus on ensuring the firm is indispensable to its clients and only in the practices where it can bring a value-add, citing such “power alleys” as health care, tax, private client, and white-collar and litigation where the firm is a leader and could see an uptick under the new Trump administration. Mr. Coleman added that he will focus on growing profitability to ensure the firm has the money to seek and retain key talent and to invest in technology, infrastructure and business processes.
