Mr. Wong’s addition to Partners’ Dallas office is the latest in a series of strategic wins and high-profile companywide announcements—including JJ Leonard joining Partners to lead its Dallas office—that demonstrate the firm’s longstanding commitment to enhancing the services it offers its clients, and further demonstrates the significant drawing power of Partners’ distinctive business model, platform, and structure, where the professionals who drive value own the firm and share in its full wealth-building potential.
