There’s an opening for a chief information officer at Washington, D.C.’s Dickstein Shapiro. At press time, interviews were under way with three finalists. Whoever gets the job isn’t just going to run a technology department, however. He will be number five in a tightly knit management C-suite that reports directly to the chairman. The new hire will join four existing “chiefs” who together have almost 60 years of Dickstein service. The four other C-Suite residents-a chief administrative officer, a chief financial officer, a chief strategic officer, and a chief human resources officer-are women. As it happens, all three finalists for the CIO position are men.

The long-established Dickstein management team is responsible for 400 lawyers and 800 staff members in three cities: New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. The Am Law 100 firm, which had revenue of $281 million in 2006, a 9 percent increase over 2005, has been expanding rapidly. Since the beginning of 2003, it has brought in 36 lateral partners, some as part of a group, others as individuals.
