Saul Ewing raised two partners to co-managing partners in its Washington, D.C., office, the firm announced today. Mark Gruhin and Edward Levin took the helm of the 24-lawyer office on March 13.
“Our plan has always been in this office to expand and grow it,” Gruhin says. “Ed and I are going to continue that growth plan with some of our own ideas.”
According to Gruhin, the D.C. office has had co-managing partners in the past. “We both have very busy practices, so we feel that it’s good to have the two-headed leadership here,” he says.
Levin adds, “We see eye to eye on how law ought to be practiced and how the firm should focus its energy in the metropolitan area.”
Gruhin is co-chair of the firm’s venture capital/technology, emerging companies and capital practice group. He focuses on corporate law in the areas of technology, securities regulation, financial transactions, and real estate.
Levin is a veteran employment lawyer. He has represented employers in labor negotiations, union organizing campaigns and arbitrations, as well as in litigation over discrimination, sexual harassment, and non-competition agreements.
Saul Ewing, a firm based in Philadelphia, has more than 250 lawyers in nine offices across the country.
