Linklaters has added two leading names to its law and business school advisory board, including Linde's chief legal officer.
The magic circle firm has added Linde's Christian Rau and professor Jan Dalhuisen from King's College School of Law, expanding its board from five members to eight.
Rau oversees around 70 legal staff across Linde's 17 global offices. He has previously held roles with Johnson & Johnson, where he was assistant general counsel, before which he was a lawyer at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. Dalhuisen has been a professor at King's School of Law since 1996.
Rau and Dalhuisen join Ashish Nanda, professor of practice at Harvard Law School, Bertrand Moingeon, deputy dean at HEC Business School, with managing partner Simon Davies, knowledge and learning partner Michael Voisin and Christopher Bellamy, a consultant in the firm's competition practice.
Voisin said: "Their external insights will be invaluable in helping shape the firm's knowledge and learning strategy. Their appointments demonstrate the value we place on knowledge and learning at Linklaters, which is essential if we are to consistently deliver excellent advice to our clients."
The advisory board supports Linklaters' knowledge and learning committee with independent advice and topical market knowledge.
Linklaters is set to pilot an online university in its New York office from November. The project, intended for a global rollout in 2010, will run as part of the school and will enable employees to track their learning and development online by booking courses and recording results.
