Second Female Managing Partner Takes Helm at Carroll, Burdick & McDonough

Vicki Freimann will be taking over today as managing partner of Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, making her the second woman to lead the 66-member firm. The firm's first female managing partner, Angela Bradstreet, left in 2007 to become California's labor commissioner. Bradstreet said Freimann has "that perfect combination" of business acumen, client service and people skills to lead a firm. Freimann will oversee the firm's expansion beyond California and internationally, partner Rodney Eshelman said.
