Dugan & Lopatka has a business model that outlines how promotions are determined to support our client service needs and to meet the growth of the firm.

Every team member is encouraged to seek promotion and opportunities will present themselves for those individuals that successfully advance their skills and abilities to the next higher level.

Currently, there are nine principals. There are two types of managers in the firm, those who seek potential ownership of the firm as a principal, and technical managers who do not seek equity ownership, but have skills and experience that garner the manager position.

Advancement does not have to come in the department in which a team member is currently assigned. Team members can switch from one department to another provided that their skills and experience warrant such a move and management believes the change to be a positive one for both the team member and the firm.
