NEW ORLEANS, LA (January 9, 2023) – Irwin Fritchie Urquhart Moore & Daniels, LLC, is proud to announce the selection of Timothy F. Daniels as President of the firm effective January 1, 2023.

“I hope everyone will join me in congratulating Tim on his selection to his new position as President of Irwin Fritchie,” stated Irwin Fritchie founding partner and former President, Gus Fritchie. “It has been my pleasure to serve as the President of this prestigious firm for the past 11 years, and I am confident that, under Tim’s leadership, we will continue to excel as the preeminent litigation firm in Louisiana and build on our reputation as one the best places to work in the city of New Orleans.”

Thankfully, Gus is not going anywhere, so we are fortunate to have the continued benefit of his wisdom and advice in our midst, which I will be counting on as I make the effort to follow in his extraordinary example for the next year.”

“I am so blessed to have found my way back to work with the wonderful people here so many years ago,” continued Daniels. “As always, I will do my very best to contribute, in any way I can, to the perpetuation of the fine culture that has been the hallmark of Irwin Fritchie since its founding.”
