PHOENIX - TelAve -- NLJ 250 firm Fennemore Craig announced today that it is building on the record success its legal professionals have achieved for clients and the firm with several internal promotions and a new hire designed to continue its ongoing effort to align the firm's talent and resources with the needs of the business community. The changes come as the firm's Chief Operating Officer, Kathy Hancock, retires from the firm after 18 years of stellar service.

"We've thrived as a firm for 135 years because we're always innovating, evolving, and transforming," said Fennemore Craig Chief Executive Officer James Goodnow. "Kathy Hancock has been an invaluable team member, an incomparable leader, and a class act for 18 years. We will miss her greatly."

Over the past several years, the firm has embarked on a deliberate strategy to better respond to the needs of clients, and results have followed. "2019 was a banner year for our clients and the firm," Goodnow said. "Our lawyers successfully helped clients close some of the biggest deals and navigate the highest-stake matters in the western U.S." He added, "This focus on clients has also been good for Fennemore Craig as we've outperformed peer firms in almost every measurable metric, including financial statistics, number of new clients added, employee job satisfaction, and employee retention. Our goal is to use this foundation to take positive client outcomes to even greater heights."
