San Diego, CA, February 5, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP announced today that Tom Turner has been reelected as managing partner for his sixth consecutive term.
Turner, who was first elected in 2001, has led the firm to tremendous growth and success, even through challenging financial times and in a highly competitive legal marketplace.
"Procopio has been favored with terrific financial and strategic success, but the most rewarding aspect for me has been the ability to nurture a uniquely fun and friendly firm culture which continues to build on the commitment to pro bono, diversity and community involvement. In a highly competitive business environment, we remain all about doing the right thing."
Tom Turner, Managing Partner
“Procopio’s success in delivering a tremendous value proposition is due in great part to Tom’s leadership,” said Jim Perkins, the firm’s chief operating officer. “He recognizes that the practice of law is highly dynamic and that law firms need to effectively adapt to ensure they are delivering the greatest value to clients. He’s demonstrated that time and again and has showed no sign of slowing down.”
Under Turner’s leadership the firm has grown its headcount 150% to over 150 attorneys, making Procopio the largest San Diego firm.
The exceptional growth in both headcount and client base is due in large part to the firm’s innovative approach to legal services, its ability to attract and retain top attorneys from “Big Law", and its commitment to building deep relationships with the San Diego business community. He was a driver in establishing Procopio Business Advisors, a business unit separate from the law firm that is focused on helping businesses with strategic planning, as well as in the creation of LaunchPad, an incubator for start-up companies that sits within the firm’s Del Mar Heights office.
Since becoming managing partner, the firm also has expanded its geographic breadth, opening offices in Silicon Valley and Austin Texas, as well as becoming a key participant in Law Exchange International, a conglomerate of mid-sized firms from around the world that collaborate to support clients with international needs.
“Procopio has been favored with terrific financial and strategic success,” said Turner, “but the most rewarding aspect for me has been the ability to nurture a uniquely fun and friendly firm culture which continues to build on the commitment to pro bono, diversity and community involvement. In a highly competitive business environment, we remain all about doing the right thing.”
Formerly the leader of the firm’s real estate team, Turner actively maintains his broad-based commercial real estate transactional practice, which includes all property types. Turner has been selected for inclusion in the Southern California Super Lawyers® - San Diego list for Real Estate every year since the inception of publication in San Diego, and is an AV rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell.
Turner was recently nominated as San Diego’s Most Admired CEO. Last year he was recognized as a Top Lawyer by San Diego Magazine and was awarded the 2015 Community Service Award by the San Diego Business Journal. He has been recognized as Attorney of the Year by the San Diego County Bar Association and achieved statewide recognition as Law Firm Leader of the Year. He is incredibly active in the community, volunteering for numerous local organizations. He serves as Chair of the National Conflict Resolution Center, is on the Boards of Directors and the Executive Committees of NAIOP and the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, and serves on Malin Burnham’s Chairman’s Competitiveness Counsel. He is a member and served on the Advisory Board of The Urban Land Institute and served as President of the San Diego League, Home Start, and the San Diego County Taxpayers Association. He is a recipient of the Wiley Manuel Award for Excellence in pro bono legal services and was honored as a Father of the Year by the American Diabetes Association.
