Nixon Peabody Names Richard Langan Jr. as CEO
Law Firm News
Nixon Peabody LLP said Monday it named Richard Langan Jr. to take over the law firm as chief executive and managing partner.
He will move into his new role May 1, succeeding Harry Trueheart III, who has been at the helm for more than 13 years and will become the firm's nonexecutive chairman.
In Trueheart's new capacity, he will focus on client relationships, firm strategy and special projects, according to a company statement.
A Nixon Peabody spokeswoman said the New York-based international law firm's largest offices are in New York, D.C., Boston and San Francisco. The firm employs 700 attorneys. It has 110 attorneys in D.C., according to Washington Business Journal research.
Langan joined Nixon Peabody in 1980 as a first-year associate. He was most recently chair of the firm's business and financial services department. Langan is also a director of Minetta Brook, a non-for-profit arts foundation in New York.
About three months ago, the firm appointed Karen Greenbaum chief operating officer. She formerly was president and chief operating officer for Mercer LLC's U.S. operations. Greenbaum replaced John Gerhard, who announced his retirement after 25 years with the firm.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
