Allen & Overy (A&O) senior partner David Morley has been appointed to the London Mayor's International Business Advisory Council (IBAC).
Morley is to join Mayor Boris Johnson's newly-formed IBAC, which is predominantly made up of business leaders from major international organisations.
The council, which is chaired by WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell, will advise the London Mayor on securing London's position in the international sphere, with focus on developing opportunities, ideas and initiatives to make London an appealing location for business.
As reported by Legal Week, members of the IBAC will be drawn from large corporate entities such as The Coca-Cola Company, British Airways and Adidas, and will also advise on ways to make London a more appealing place to live.
Morley is the first lawyer appointed, after the initial line-up included no representatives from the legal profession. There is currently no indication that any other members of the legal community will also sit on the council.
He said: "London is one of the leading centres for global legal services, so we have an important contribution to make to the work of the council."
Morley was appointed to the role of senior partner at A&O earlier this year after five years as managing partner.
