PEER TO PEER: THE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ILTA | FALL 2016
As law firms continue to evolve, they
are looking more like other businesses.
Organizational changes, mergers and an
emphasis on the bottom line are changing
the way law firms operate. No one knows this
better than Tim Armstrong, COO of Vinson &
Elkins, LLP (V&E). Now in his twenty-third year
at V&E, Tim has played several roles, including
CIO and CFO, before ascending to his current
position in 2009. During his tenure, he has
seen the firm grow not only in size but also
in complexity. He has witnessed economic
booms and busts; throughout it all, V&E
continues to thrive.
