When it comes to mutual funds, there's a new top lawyer at Perkins Coie.

Washington, D.C.-based Molly Moynihan now chairs the law firm's investment management practice, Perkins Coie spokesman Terry Gordon confirms. Moynihan succeeds Marty Lybecker, who died earlier this month.

Moynihan herself did not immediately return a call for comment on her promotion.

An alumna of Wesleyan University, the University of Texas School of Law, and the University of London, Moynihan worked at Sullivan & Cromwell, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust, and K&L Gates before joining Perkins Coie.
