Connecticut's Pullman & Comley named Lee D. Hoffman chair of the firm following a unanimous election to the position. He succeeds James T. "Tim" Shearin in the role as part of a planned leadership succession.

"This is an exciting time to be elected as chair of Pullman & Comley," Hoffman said. "I am fortunate to be taking on the role at a time of robust growth for the firm, and that is due in large part to the past nine years of Tim's visionary leadership."
