Goodwin Procter partner and Silicon Valley Office chair Anthony McCusker was recently selected as one of the 10 Emerging Law Firm Leaders in California by the Daily Journal, a daily newspaper covering the California legal community. The emerging leaders list, part of the newspaper’s Top California Law Firms feature, seeks to recognize those attorneys who have made a positive impact on their firm’s operations and who have demonstrated an outstanding promise as a firm leader and manager.
McCusker joined Goodwin Procter in March 2010 as a partner in the Technology Companies Practice and became co-chair of the group soon thereafter. In February 2012 he was appointed to the firm’s Executive Committee, and in October of the same year became chair of the firm’s Silicon Valley Office. In his capacity as office chair, he is focused on growing the firm’s west coast presence and in particular the Menlo Park office.
