Tanenbaum Keale LLP is pleased to announce Timothy R. Freeman has joined the firm’s partnership, effective January 1, 2023.
“We have continually been impressed with Tim’s dedication to providing high levels of client service,” Tanenbaum Keale President James H. Keale said. “He has proven himself time and time again on an obvious path to leadership at Tanenbaum Keale, and the firm is delighted to have him join the partnership as an earned reward for his exemplary legal work.”
Freeman focuses his practice in the firm’s core practice areas of product liability and catastrophic personal injury. His experience also includes mass tort and other multidistrict litigation (MDL) matters as well as appeals. His clients include manufacturers of heavy equipment, home appliances, and consumer products, as well as transportation companies and individuals.
