Chapman, Popik & White Attorneys Continue In New Directions

After nearly nineteen years, San Francisco’s Chapman, Popik & White LLP is in the process of winding down, with its name partners retiring from practice and other attorneys starting their own firms or joining established practices.

CPW was founded in 1993 by Bill Chapman, Sue Popik, and Mark White. It grew over time to 14 attorneys. Known for its trial and appellate practice, the firm focused on business litigation, professional responsibility, insurance coverage, and civil rights.

Sue Popik has taken a senior editorial position at The Rutter Group, and Mark White will retire to his native Michigan. Bill Chapman retired from the partnership several years ago but remained of counsel to the firm.

Renée Callantine has joined the San Francisco office of Meckler, Bulger, Tilson, Marick & Pearson, www.mbtlaw.com, and will continue to specialize in insurance coverage and claims handling matters.

Philip Leider has joined the San Francisco office of BraunHagey & Borden, www.braunhagey.com, where he will continue to handle litigation and appeals of class actions and other complex business, personal injury, product liability, and insurance matters.

Bill Campbell has also joined BraunHagey & Borden, where he will continue to focus on insurance coverage, professional liability and general business cases.

Duncan MacDonald is a principal in Rossi & MacDonald, specializing in employment, professional liability, and business litigation.

David Nied has founded Pacific American Law Group, www.palgsf.com, which focuses on business, employment, and civil rights litigation.

For the present, Mike Matthews, Carol Quackenbos, and Dave Romanski can be reached at Chapman, Popik & White.
