Linklaters' senior partner election is nearing its final stages, with the three contenders presenting their manifestos to the partnership at the magic circle firm's annual partner conference in Paris.

Global banking chief Robert Elliott, head of litigation John Turnbull and European managing partner Jean-Pierre Blumberg are all expected to present their strategies for the firm during the conference, which ends tomorrow (9 April).

The trio initially released their manifestos to the partnership two weeks ago (25 March), with each candidate laying out in detail their plans for the five-year term.
