Reed Smith LLP announced the election Wednesday of Alexander Y. “Sandy” Thomas of Falls Church as its global managing partner. Thomas’ three-year term begins on August 1.
“I am deeply honored to be elected by my partners,” Thomas, said in a statement.

This marks the first time he was elected by the partners of the Washington, D.C.-based firm to a full three-year term.
Thomas is the former chair of Reed Smith’s Litigation Department. He’s a 1993 graduate of Washington & Lee University School of Law. Thomas joined Reed Smith in1999 as part of that firm’s combination with Hazel & Thomas P.C.
Based in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office, he is the 11th managing partner of the firm in its 137-year history. Reed Smith is a global firm with 1.900 lawyers in 25 offices, including one in Richmond.
