Detroit-based law firm Miller Canfield, which has a Grand Rapids office, named Megan Norris as its new chief executive officer, the first woman in the firm’s history to hold that title.
She will succeed Michael McGee, who has been the CEO since 2013, on Feb. 26. Norris will lead the firm by continuing to focus on providing client value and efficiency.
“In many ways, for nearly 170 years, the firm’s focus has never changed: Our primary purpose is always to serve our clients,” Norris said. “And we can’t do so without the best attorneys in the business. What is always changing is what our clients need. Clients face budgetary restrictions, so we must adapt to provide high-quality legal services in more efficient ways while remaining profitable.” ....
