Foster Wheeler Announces Changes To Legal Organization
Posted: 23 February 2005
Foster Wheeler Ltd. announced certain changes in its legal organization. The changes result primarily from the successful progress Foster Wheeler has made in its restructuring. Specifically, the law firm of Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe LLP will no longer serve as the Company’s general counsel, and the functions previously performed by Heller Ehrman will now instead be performed by Thomas A. Kowalczyk and Timothy J. Langan, each of whom is being promoted to deputy general counsel of the Company.
“Heller Ehrman, and its senior partner, Vic Hebert, have played a major role in our successful restructuring,” said Raymond J. Milchovich, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler. “We truly appreciate their considerable contributions. However, as planned, we have reached a point in the restructuring where we no longer need the specialist restructuring skills and experience that they provide. Instead, we believe we can most effectively arrange for the legal services we will need in the future by appointing two long-time, highly experienced Foster Wheeler attorneys as our deputies general counsel.”
Mr. Langan has served as Foster Wheeler’s chief litigation counsel since joining Foster Wheeler in that capacity in 1991. Prior to joining Foster Wheeler, he was a litigator with Martin Clearwater & Bell in New York , and Francis & Berry and Graham, Curtin & Sheridan in New Jersey . Mr. Langan also served as corporate counsel to Citibank. He holds a B.A. from Colgate University and a J.D. from St. John’s University .
Mr. Kowalczyk most recently was an assistant general counsel of the Company, having served in positions of increasing responsibility with Foster Wheeler since 1996. Prior to joining Foster Wheeler, he was a litigator with Wolff & Samson, a deputy attorney general of the state of New Jersey , and an environmental counsel with Public Service Electric and Gas Company. Mr. Kowalczyk holds a B.A. and a J.D. from Rutgers University .
