“I have had the pleasure of knowing, and working closely with, Tim for many years. His tremendous passion for the firm, for serving our stakeholders, for making this a place where talented people want to be, for our responsibility to society, and for our shared future is evident,” said Moritz. “I know under his leadership—and with the support of his team—the firm will continue to prosper.”
