We are pleased to announce that Amy Johnston has been elected to serve as the new Chair of Miller Canfield's Managing Directors. Her election marks the first time in the firm's history that our top two leadership positions are held by women. Megan Norris became the firm's CEO in February 2021. Additionally, in 2020 the firm named Michelle Crockett as its Deputy Executive Officer and Chief Diversity Officer.

Amy is a principal attorney and the co-leader of Miller Canfield's Litigation and Dispute Resolution Group. She has served on the firm's five-member Board of Managing Directors since her election in 2016.

"Amy has provided solid leadership as a Managing Director and the firm is better and stronger for it," said Norris. "Her business savvy and understanding of the workings of the firm will serve us well as the directors move forward with their vision."

Amy said she will focus on continuing to attract and retain top talent from a diverse candidate pool and building on the firm's investment in its technological infrastructure.

"The firm is fortunate to have such a dynamic and energetic group of Managing Directors. It's an honor and privilege to serve as the Chair," she said. "I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues and our new CEO to achieve our goals."

Congratulations, Amy!
