White & Williams Chairman and Managing Partner Guy Cellucci died on Friday, the firm said. He was 59.
Mr. Cellucci had been at the helm of the Philadelphia-based law firm since October 2010, when he succeeded George Hartnett. During his tenure as chairman and managing partner, White & Williams grew in size, breadth and practice offerings. The firm doubled the size of both its New York and Boston offices.
"He did not force his ideas on others, but listened to what they had to say and formulated a plan of action after forging consensus in a way that only a great leader can do," said Patricia Santelle, chair of the firm’s commercial litigation department and Mr. Cellucci’s close friend. "He was a friend, mentor and partner in every sense of the word." Read more about Mr. Celucci on PBJ.com
