Michael N. Herring, former Richmond commonwealth’s attorney, is now the managing partner at the Richmond office of McGuireWoods, one of the state’s largest law firms.
The firm announced Monday that Mr. Herring has succeeded George K. Martin in the management post, which Mr. Martin held for more than 12 years.
Mr. Martin, the first African-American in that role, is now a senior partner at the firm.
Mr. Herring joined McGuireWoods in 2019 after stepping down as the city’s top prosecutor. He was elected three times and served for 13 years in the city’s leadership role overseeing a large staff of attorneys.
Mr. Herring is a trial lawyer with experience resolving commercial litigation, government investigations and white-collar criminal defense matters.
