Mayer Brown has selected Herbert Krueger to become its next chairman, replacing James Holzhauer who decided to resign last month because of health reasons.
Krueger, a veteran lawyer based in Chicago, has to be approved by the partnership later this month, the Chicago law firm said in a statement. At that time, the partners also will vote on a new governance structure.
Mayer Brown declined to comment on the new management arrangement. The National Law Journal, which first reported Krueger's nomination, said the firm will have a single leader instead of three-person office of chairman that was led by Holzhauer since 2007. Under Holzhauer, there are two vice chairmen: Paul Maher in London and Kenneth Geller in Washington.
Krueger, a 1974 University of Chicago Law School graduate, represents companies in executive compensation matters, according to the firm's Web site, and also is an expert in pension issues and private-equity fund formation.
