Akerman Wilmington Office Managing Partner Tammy L. Mercer was featured in Law360 Pulse in “Akerman’s New Delaware Leader Eyes More Growth,” sharing her vision for the firm’s Wilmington office and the leadership philosophy she brings to the role.
The profile captures Tammy’s immediate priorities for the office, centered on expanding the team in key practice areas.
“There is a high demand for Delaware talent by our clients,” Tammy told Law360 Pulse. “My goal is to grow the office immediately,” she said. “We’re looking for smart, sophisticated and talented lawyers.”
The piece also explores how Tammy envisions that growth taking shape — scaling the team while preserving the collaborative culture that has defined the office, so attorneys can benefit from the full weight of a national firm without losing what makes the Wilmington office distinctive.
“The goal is for the office to retain its smaller feel, while having the benefit of a larger firm supporting it,” she said.
Tammy pointed to Akerman’s national platform and the firm’s culture as powerful draws for the attorneys she is looking to hire.
On her leadership style, Tammy shared that her central focus as managing partner will be on building a culture of trust and collaboration, and above all, on “making sure everyone feels valued.”
