Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps spent half a year creating a plan to improve reputation and increase numbers in their California offices – Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange County. This may seem like a typical aim for most law firms, and yet the intended magnitude will require that the firm’s managing partner concentrate solely on leading and no longer on practicing law. As of January 1st, partner Kurt Kicklighter will lead the firm through the next five years. Currently, Luce, Forward focuses mainly on real estate, trusts and estates, and insurance. But, by 2011, the firm plans to makes its presence known in other practice areas, such as labor and employment and intellectual property litigation.
