As sole managing partner of the firm's Philadelphia office, the largest law firm in the city, Bouchard oversaw the firm's response to COVID-19, which ran the gamut from transitioning to immediate remote working to implementing post-COVID-19 safety precautions for when the workforce returns. She simultaneously organized the firm's new office lease for construction of the 19-story, 305,000-square-foot tower at 2222 Market St.
