Stephenson Harwood has reappointed longstanding senior partner Andrew Sutch for a shortened third term.
Sutch, who stood uncontested for the role, has opted for a two-year term, having already served eight years in the post. He was initially appointed for five years in 2002, before being re-elected for a second three-year term.
Sutch (pictured), a corporate partner, will continue to advise clients alongside the senior partner role. He works with a number of the firm's key clients including HSBC, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Sutch said key elements of his next term will include supporting recently-appointed chief executive Sharon White in her role as well as helping to oversee Stephenson Harwood's expansion in London and internationally, where continental Europe and the Middle East are earmarked for growth.
He said: "The key focus will be to continue moving on the progress that the firm has been able to make over the last few years, while I will also continue to focus on my client work."
Separately, CMS Cameron McKenna has extended senior partner Richard Price's term by one year until 30 April 2011. The City law firm has also appointed two new members to its board.
Price's term was extended by a year because he will have served two terms in the post by the end of April this year – the maximum allowed by the firm.
Meanwhile, Central and Eastern Europe banking and finance head Paul Stallebrass and new real estate practice manager Mark Heighton have both been elected to the firm's board following a partner vote that concluded last week (19 March).
