Louis' son, Paul Cordish, joined in 1933, helping grow the company's developments while also founding Cordish & Cordish, the company's in-house legal division. Paul's son David joined in 1963 and assumed leadership of the companies in the late 1960s, serving as Chairman and CEO since that time. All three of David's sons - Jonathan, Blake and Reed - have been partners in the business for decades, with responsibilities over finance, real estate development and entertainment operations respectively. David's stepson, Jonathan Sinex, oversees the family's private equity investment business. The company encompasses five generations of privately-held, Cordish family ownership.
