A Note from the Chairman
Since becoming the Chairman of this great Firm, which has been more fun than I could have ever imagined, one of the things I’m most proud of is the talent that has joined our platform, strengthening our practice groups and strategic geographic areas.
One of the reasons I joined Duane Morris many years ago was the people. And this conviction remains true and drives my commitment to talent acquisition and maintaining our culture. In fact, the Firm has experienced many consecutive years of sustained growth. This consistency is a great sign of the Firm’s strength and a reflection of our lawyers.
Colleagues, past and present, have all had a hand in the Firm’s growth. And I am proud that our Alumni Program provides an avenue to maintain relationships and share accomplishments about our extensive network. Our alums should be aware that we often brag about you and your many varied and impressive accomplishments, as your successes reflect so well on Duane Morris.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of my position is that it affords me the opportunity to travel to our offices to visit colleagues and clients. I look forward to continuing my trips to our key markets and regions and hope to connect with many of you along the way.
If you have news to share, I encourage you to contact me at mataylor@duanemorris.com or alumni@duanemorris.com.

Contacting Duane Morris does not create an attorney-client relationship with the firm or any of the firm's attorneys. (That relationship would require direct, personal contact between you and our firm through one or more attorneys and would also require an agreement that confirms that a relationship is established and the terms of that relationship.) The invitation to contact the firm is not a solicitation to provide professional services and should not be construed as a statement as to the availability of any of our attorneys to perform legal services in any jurisdiction in which such attorney is not permitted to practice.
