Another quick hire / resignation in a Rothschild business (February 13, 2019)
Just days after hiring a new chief Marketing officer, Fox Rothschild has found itself with a vacancy in the role once again.
Fox, an Am Law 100 firm based in Philadelphia, has been without a CMO since May, when Trish Lilley left for Stroock & Stroock & Lavan.
Fox Rothschild managing partner Mark Morris confirmed that the firm had hired Jodie Collins to serve as its CMO. She accepted the position and was employed at Fox for a few days earlier this month, he said, but she has since left the firm.
Collins had been the CMO at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips for over a decade until December, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Efforts to reach Collins for comment this week were unsuccessful. According to Morris, Collins left because she decided she did not want to relocate to Philadelphia from New York.
"We had discussed that with her, to try to make sure that wouldn't be an issue and she didn't think it would be ... once she got here and it became a reality, she decided she didn't want to leave New York," Morris said.
Sources also said Fox Rothschild made an offer to at least one other candidate for the CMO position last year, but the offer was not accepted. Morris said the firm did talk with other candidates before hiring Collins, but he did not say whether any other offers were extended.
Morris said Fox Rothschild did not immediately launch an in-depth CMO search after Lilley's departure but later expanded the scope of the search when "we decided we wanted a more robust group of candidates."
The firm advertised the position as Philadelphia-based, he said, because that is where most of the existing Marketing staff is based. However, Morris said, "I guess I could be open to revisiting that, depending on what we do going forward."
Law firm CMOs have shown a tendency for frequent movement across the industry, and these positions sometimes take a long time to fill. Drinker Biddle & Reath held its chief Marketing position vacant for two years before hiring New York-based Kristin Coda last year as its chief Marketing and business development officer.
Also this year, Blank Rome lost its Washington, D.C.-based chief business development and Marketing officer, Hans Haglund, who took a role at Eversheds Sutherland as chief commercial officer.
Blank Rome said in a statement: "We appreciate Hans' five years of service to our law firm and wish him all the best in his new role."

Norway's Seadrill says CFO to step down
Norwegian offshore drilling rig firm Seadrill Ltd said on Thursday that Chief Financial Officer Mark Morris will step down following completion of the company's financial restructuring.
Seadrill said last July that it had successfully completed its reorganization, emerging from U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The company, once the world's largest offshore driller by Market capitalization, was forced to seek protection from creditors when it was unable to repay debts amassed during boom years to buy new rigs.

'Monster' detention centre
Counsel assisting the commission Rachel Ellyard warned the inquiry would learn what happened to Warren was disturbingly commonplace at Ashley.
"Rather than it being about monsters entering an institution that was otherwise serving the interests of children, here you may find that it's Ashley that is the monster," she said.
"It is inherently unsafe for children and has defeated every attempt thus far that has been made to make it safer."
A youth detention centre, as Ms Ellyard put it, is supposed to offer rehabilitation to detainees, who have often experienced significant trauma in their short lives.
However, she said, Ashley operated like a prison, where children as young as 10 were subjected to extreme violence and sexual abuse, were strip-searched and left in isolation by the staff.
She said the behaviour was permitted by a culture of "brutality" towards children, by employees better trained for work as security guards than as custodians of at-risk children.
"A hierarchical and toxic culture in which incidents are not properly reported, and children are threatened and dissuaded from making complaints," Ms Ellyard said.
"That culture can be so pervasive that it corrupts otherwise good people."
Detainee begged to be sent to adult jail instead
Another former detainee, Simon*, first came to Ashley at just 10 years of age.
Like many former youth prisoners, he has spent much of his adult life in prison.
He told the commission that, by the end of his stay at Ashley, he was begging to be sent to Risdon adult jail instead.
"Because of the way I'd been treated there my whole life, you know what I mean? It was disgusting," he said.
"I can sit here and tell you right now, the guards at Risdon are a lot better than the ones at Ashley Youth Detention Centre."
He said physical abuse was one thing, but the isolation was worse.
"They chucked me a horse blanket and I slept there for days," he said.
"I was left there for a week or maybe two weeks.
"It was freezing, I'm telling you it was freezing. Felt like it was snowing."
As Ms Ellyard acknowledged, this kind of harrowing evidence is not new.
"The accounts from detainees who were at Ashley in 2000 are distressingly similar to those who were there a year ago," she said.
"As shocking as the evidence is, none of it should be a surprise to the government. None of the evidence should surprise those who worked at Ashley or have been alert to the reports or reviews that have been prepared over the last two decades."
Yet, she said, not enough had been done about it.
Politician asked children commissioner 'to back off'
Mark Morrissey, a former commissioner for children and young people in Tasmania, said he was troubled by what he saw at Ashley.
He told the commission the lack of therapeutic and specialist care at Ashley actually made children more likely to commit future crimes.
He described the isolation of children for long periods of time as a "form of torture".
However, he said, some politicians were resistant to change.
"I received a phone call [from a politician] asking me to understand that any challenges to the current system would affect employment and that it was a very important employer for the Deloraine district," he said.
"Effectively [the politician was] asking me to back off."
Mr Morrissey retired early.
