Miller Canfield Elects Managing Directors
Miller Canfield is pleased to announce that Jeffrey Aronoff and Pawel Chudzicki have been elected to serve on the law firm’s Board of Managing Directors.
The newly elected Managing Directors join Scott Eldridge, who was re-elected, and Danielle Mason Anderson and A. Michael Palizzi. The five-member Board of Managing Directors, along with CEO Megan Norris, Chief Diversity Officer and Deputy Executive Officer Michelle Crockett and Chief Operating Officer David Robson, are responsible for managing the firm and its 242 attorneys.
“Pawel and Jeff will be exceptional additions to the Managing Directors,” said Norris. “They bring a wealth of leadership experience and perspective, which will benefit our practice groups and our attorneys in our 18 worldwide offices North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.”
Chudzicki is a principal attorney in the firm’s Corporate and Transactions Group. He leads Miller Canfield’s Aerospace and Defense practice team and is the resident director of the firm’s office in Washington. He is the co-director of the office in Doha, Qatar, which opened in 2019 primarily to serve clients in the defense, cybersecurity and aerospace industries.
Aronoff is the Deputy Leader of the firm’s nationally recognized Public Finance Group, which is best known for large and complex transactions and the financing of transformative capital projects and infrastructure. He serves on the firm’s Summer Associate and Political Action committees.
“We look forward to welcoming Jeff and Pawel and working with them on executing the firm’s vision for strategic growth and collaborating with our partners and executive team as we continue to strengthen our position as leaders in the area of law firm diversity, equity and inclusion,” said Anderson, on behalf of the Managing Directors.
Aronoff and Chudzicki succeed Amy Johnston and Thomas Colis, who stepped down from the board at the end of their terms. Johnston had served on the board since 2016, and as the Chair of the Managing Directors since 2021. Colis served on the board since 2014 and served as its chair in 2019.
