“I am really excited to grow into this new role and continue the work that my predecessor, David Head, was doing,” says Ted. “I am particularly excited to work with our employee engagement committee and all of our passionate employees that make this such a fun place to work. It’s our people that make us a leading creditors’ rights law firm.” Congratulations Ted!
