Firm Governance
The business of Crowell & Moring LLP is directed by a nine-person Management Board, functioning similarly to a corporate board of directors. Management Board members are elected by the partners of the firm for a three-year term, and may be re-elected for a second consecutive term. The chair of the Management Board is also elected by the partners for a three-year term, and serves as chief executive officer of the firm. The day-to-day business of the firm is managed by a three-person Executive Committee, consisting of the chair of the Management Board and two other Management Board members. 

Other important activities are managed and supervised by the firm's two co-managing partners. These activities include oversight of administrative departments and committees of partners and professional staff, with each committee headed by a chair appointed by the Management Board. The firm's committees include Diversity, Finance, Firm Life, Professional Development, Professional Responsibility, Public Service, Recruiting and Technology. The firm's administrative team is a group of dedicated professionals  who provide  the firm and its partnership with maximum efficiency and productivity in the areas of Accounting & Finance, Conflicts, Human Resources, Information Systems, Marketing & Business Development, Operations & Facilities and Research Services.

Reporting to the Executive Committee and the two co-managing partners are  the  chief financial officer, chief human resources officer and chief marketing and business development officer. The firm's lawyers are organized into substantive Practice Groups, each headed by a chair appointed by the Executive Committee.
