Alumni Spotlight- Winter 2010-2011
Letter from the Chairman
We are pleased to bring you Duane Morris' next edition of Alumni Spotlight, our alumni newsletter.
This issue is full of stories of Duane Morris alumni who are leaders in industry and government. We are pleased to feature our friend and client, Dick Thurston, a Firm alum who is Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC). Duane Morris has helped TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, for many years with a variety of legal issues, including intellectual property and litigation. Relationship partner Frank Luchak is keenly aware of TSMC's business issues and works closely with Dick to anticipate TSMC's needs.
We're also very proud of Duane Morris' alumni contributions to government. Nationally, there are more than 70 Duane Morris alumni in state and federal government positions, including in California, Washington, D.C., Florida, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Mississippi, Maine, Illinois, Washington, Ohio and Pennsylvania. There are some 30 Duane Morris alumni who work in government positions in Pennsylvania alone. Duane Morris alumni are employed by the United States Air Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and circuit courts around the country.
They also include city government counsel, public defenders and state and federal judges. Here, we feature former partner and good friend Barbara Adams in her role as General Counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You can also read about how labor and employment attorney David Frank went from his role as a Duane Morris associate to overseeing an 800-plus legal department at the U.S. Air Force.
We're pleased to bring you these stories, and we hope you will share your experiences and news in our next edition of Spotlight. Please contact me personally at , or our Spotlight editor, Laura Wenner, at
