Mertineit emphasized her excitement about stepping into the role, noting:

"I'm incredibly excited to join this fantastic leadership team. Mike's dedicated leadership over the years has been critical to establishing our group as a premier practice in trade secrets and restrictive covenant litigation. I couldn't be happier to join Marcus as new co-chairs, and I look forward to building on this strong foundation to further drive our team's success, especially as the landscape for trade secret and restrictive covenants litigation is changing rapidly."

Mintz highlighted the evolving challenges facing clients and the strength of the new leadership team, saying:

"I'm thrilled to step into this co‑chair role with Dawn Mertineit and to serve alongside Michael Wexler, whose leadership has been instrumental to the strength of our trade secret and restrictive covenant practice.
