Denton Wilde Sapte has reappointed two members to its main strategy board.
The firm has elected City-based head of restructuring and insolvency Mark Andrews to a fourth non-consecutive term on the partnership board, while Dubai corporate partner Stephen McGlennan has been elected for a second term to the body, which has overall responsibility for the firm's strategy and management.
Both were re-elected last month, with their two-year appointments formally starting last week (1 March). The firm has no cap on the number of terms partners serve but staggers terms for consistency so that two members are up for election each year.
The eight-member partnership board includes four partners as well as Dentons' chief executive, chairman and finance director, as well as one external non-executive member advising the firm on strategy.
Its most recent addition was the appointment of London partner Michael Black, who specialises in secured corporate lending transactions. Black was appointed last March, with litigation partner Rory McAlpine re-elected at the same time. Elections will be due for both their positions in March 2011.
The next election is due to take place in March 2011 for Black and McAlpine's positions.
Dentons chairman Martin Kitchen commented: "Stephen's presence in Dubai has brought an important Middle East perspective to the board's discussions and with Mark's long experience of the firm's management, they have both been invaluable members of the board. I'm very pleased to that the partnership has seen fit to re-elect them."
