Wiedner & McAuliffe announces the retirement of President James W. Stevenson after 38 remarkable years with the firm. Under Jim’s leadership, the firm experienced significant growth and success, with the number of attorneys growing nearly threefold. His dedication to excellence and commitment to client service have been instrumental in shaping the values and reputation of Wiedner & McAuliffe.

As Jim transitions into retirement, we are pleased to announce that Mary C. Sabatino, who joined the firm in 2004, will succeed him as President, effective January 1, 2026. Mary is the first female to hold this role in the firm’s 53-year history. Her extensive experience and proven leadership make her the ideal choice to guide the firm into its next chapter.

In addition, we are excited to announce that Timothy S. McNally has been appointed to fill Jim’s vacancy on the executive committee. Tim is an outstanding addition to the leadership team, bringing valuable insights and expertise that will benefit the firm both now and in the future.

We invite our clients, colleagues, and friends to join us in extending our best wishes to Jim as he embarks on this new chapter in his life, and in congratulating Mary and Tim on their new roles. We look forward to a bright future under their leadership.

Wiedner & McAuliffe extends warm wishes for a healthy and happy New Year.
