Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP, a multi-service law firm, sought Furia Rubel’s assistance with a leadership transition announcement. Successfully highlighted their leadership transition and commitment to strategic growth, the legal PR team supported the law firm’s objectives to strengthen their existing brand and referral relationships.
Under Bill Harvey, Klehr Harrison had established itself as a powerhouse real estate law firm with multiple offices in Philadelphia and a reputation for strategic growth. However, they were faced for the second time in the firm’s history with a leadership transition as a founding partner turned over the reins – this time to a second-generation of leaders – a three-person executive committee to share management tasks.
Recognizing the need to share their message without speculation and rumor that can surround law firm leadership transitions, they reached out to Furia Rubel.
