Indianapolis-based law firm Plews Shadley Racher and Braun LLP on Thursday announced Jeff Claflin as managing partner. Claflin has been with the firm for 35 years and manages its South Bend office.
Claflin joined the firm in 1988 as a law clerk and has served as managing partner twice during his tenure. His practice in South Bend, according to the firm, focuses primarily on insurance coverage cases and also includes civil work such as environmental law.
Claflin calls the responsibility of his new role a privilege and a pleasure.
“The privilege and pleasure come mostly from the kind of people we have attracted and kept over our 35 years together,” Claflin said in a news release. “Moreover, I will not be managing the firm by myself. We have an established and fine team of managers covering specific areas of responsibility. And the managing partner always has the robust support of the partners serving on our Management Committee. We’re big on the team concept at PSRB, and managing the firm is no different.”
While the firm is headquartered in Indianapolis, Claflin will become the first person to serve as managing partner from the South Bend office.
Claflin will begin his new role on Jan. 1. He succeeds Greg Gotwald, who will continue with the firm focusing on clients in insurance-coverage and environmental law.
Plews Shadley Racher and Braun is the 16th largest law firm in the Indianapolis area, according to IBJ research.
