A switch of styles is in the offing at Crowell & Moring.

As the seasons changed in late September, the firm’s equity partnership ushered in a new top leader. Angela Styles, a government contracts partner in Washington, D.C., tapped in early 2015 to replace Kent Gardiner as Crowell & Moring’s chair, is now poised to cede that role to Philip Inglima, a member of the firm’s white-collar and regulatory enforcement group in the nation’s capital.
