Originally a banking law boutique firm, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP was founded by Charles Taylor Manatt, who later became chairman of the Democratic National Committee and U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, and Thomas Phelps, a banking and finance attorney. Litigation and sports lawyer Alan Rothenberg joined them soon after; Rothenberg remained a named partner in the firm until he moved to Latham & Watkins in 1990.[2] Former U.S. Senator John V. Tunney was a named partner from 1976 until early 1987.[3][4] L. Lee Phillips, an entertainment lawyer, joined the firm in 1977 and became a named partner in 1985.[5][6] Democratic activist Mickey Kantor joined the firm in 1976; he was a named partner from 1991[7] until his departure in 1993 to become United States Trade Representative, and, later, Secretary of Commerce during the Clinton Administration.
