The 40-Year Career Path That Built a Managing Partner

Going from lawyer to managing partner in the same firm over a 40-year career proves law firm business development is tied to associate growth.

He started at Cavitch Familo and Durkin right out of Cleveland State law school, worked his way through a rotation, and is now the managing partner.

Here's what 40 years of watching associates succeed or stall taught him:

✅ Treat your partners like your clients
✅ Pick a practice area you actually enjoy
✅ Get involved in the local bar early
✅ Study business and writing, not just law
✅ Build a lifestyle firm if you want people to stay
