Two law firms have named new managing partners for their Baltimore offices to start the new year.

Nelson Mullins Riley and Scarborough LLP has tapped Kraig Long to lead its Baltimore office. Long replaces Tim Hodge, who started the firm’s Baltimore presence in 2018, and has been promoted to become the head of the firm’s Atlantic corporate and real estate practice. McGuireWoods LLP also has a new head of its Baltimore office, with Elena D. Marcuss taking the reins from Cecil E. Martin III. While neither firm has its headquarters in Baltimore, both are among the top 25 largest law firms in the region, according to Baltimore Business Journal research from last spring.
