Joe Coleman, KRCL founder and former chair of the Bankruptcy group, also reflected on the significance of the leadership transition.

“John has played a key role in shaping this practice and strengthening its reputation through steady leadership and exceptional client service,” said Coleman. “We’re grateful for the foundation he has built, and confident Trip will build on that legacy as he steps into this role.
