ROSELAND, N.J., Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mandelbaum Salsburg PC has changed its name to Mandelbaum Barrett PC in a historic move to recognize the contributions of CEO William S. Barrett. The rebrand represents the first time in 42 years that a name has been added; the full-service law firm has changed its name only six times in its 92-year history to reflect a generational or leadership change.
"The legal profession has changed significantly since 1930, when our founding partner, Irving Mandelbaum, began practicing law," said Barry R. Mandelbaum, Chairman of Mandelbaum Barrett, and son of its Founder. Mandelbaum continues to Chair the Firm's Real Estate Practice in addition to the Executive Committee. "Today, we are proudly adding 'Barrett' to our name in recognition of the growth and success we have realized under Bill Barrett's leadership and to celebrate his vision forward for our firm as we continue to adapt to meet the needs of our business and personal clients. Some of our clients are fourth-generation clients of the firm. This rebrand serves as a bridge from our past to our future," Mandelbaum noted.
"I am humbled by this recognition and excited for what lies ahead for the firm," said Barrett. "Since being named CEO in 2018, the firm's revenue has grown year over year, and the firm has expanded its practice offerings to continually keep pace with client needs." In recent years, the firm has expanded its dental, veterinary, healthcare and emerging markets groups to name a few, as well as added to its cannabis, elder law and special needs practices. The firm has also continued to strategically grow its attorney count.
"Even as we experience this period of deliberate, purposeful growth to better serve our clients' needs, we remain laser-focused on maintaining the unique culture and quality of life that has always made our firm such a desirable place to work and practice law at the highest levels. We care about our employees' well-being as much as we do our clients," said Barrett. "Testimony to this is the fact that more than 50 of our 170 employees have been with the firm for more than 10 years, and our entire leadership team has been with the firm for more than 20 years."
Other firm highlights include:
- The addition of a new C-suite position: Chief Culture Officer. This very deliberate move signals the firm's prioritization of its sacred culture that celebrates accomplishments and differences and understands the value of regular team-building events for all attorneys and staff alike.
- Barrett spearheaded the firm's National Dental Law Center, a national practice that has served the dental industry for over 20 years and has handled more than 1,000 dental practice transactions. The team currently comprises 13 attorneys, and Barrett just published his second book for the dental industry on the sometimes-controversial DSO (dental support organization) side of the industry.
- The firm's Healthcare practice has grown: eight additional attorneys and six staff have joined the practice during the last four years to become one of the firm's largest and rapidly growing practice areas.
- The firm has made significant investments in technology with the addition of a Chief Information Officer who has worked to build out a state-of-the-art technology platform and cyber security awareness program for staff and clients.
- Launching in 2022 is the firm's new "Unique Client Experience" platform to ensure a timely response to client needs, scheduled and accurate follow-up, and enhanced client communications. The firm also launched an Intranet to improve inter-office collaboration and streamline communication.
- In 2022, the firm will launch and publish "Mandelbaum Barrett Core Values," for Mandelbaum Barrett employees that sets forth the guiding principles that should shape client service; it outlines the seven pillars of the firm's "Unique Client Experience" approach, another Barrett initiative.
"We don't ever want our success to become our failure. We will continue to look for ways to meet evolving client needs and cultivate a workplace culture that allows our employees to thrive and advance, while attracting exceptional new talent to the firm," Barrett added.
