Clifford Chance will soon embark on a series of senior leadership elections. David Childs is expected to stand for re-election as the firm’s managing partner. If he is successful, his second four-year term at the firm’s helm would begin in May 2010.
Other management positions soon to be up for grabs include London managing partner, general counsel and practice head roles for real estate and tax, pensions and employment.
Clifford Chance is reportedly also reviewing the position of global litigation and dispute resolution head, which became redundant after the May departure of Mark Kirsch to join global player Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.
