In an era when many large firms have shortened their monikers, Gordon & Rees added two new name partners to its shingle earlier this year to become Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani.

Miles Scully, one of those partners, told The Am Law Daily in an interview Thursday that the decision to give top billing to him and fellow senior litigation partner Roger Mansukhani—a top rainmaker at the firm—started as a means of “internal recognition” for those who have helped Gordon Rees grow as it prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary in September.
