CMS Cameron McKenna is overhauling the management of some of its practice and sector groups in the wake of a number of senior departures.

The firm has appointed City partner Jason Davies as its new head of infrastructure project finance after the departure of longstanding partner Frank Dufficy, while Warsaw managing partner Andrew Kozlowski has replaced London real estate partner Steven Shone as international managing director with responsibility for emerging markets, following his exit from the firm. Kozlowski also takes Shone's seat on the firm's management committee.

Camerons is also in the process of deciding on a new head for its TMT sector group, after IP partner Isabel Davies joined Boyes Turner as a consultant last month.

The firm has opted not to replace Sean Watson as head of corporate finance after his retirement as the group now sits within the wider international capital markets team, headed by Daniel Winterfeldt, who joined from Simmons & Simmons this year.

Filings with Companies House show Camerons saw 11 partners leave the firm at the end of April, including those named above.

Legal Week previously reported that limited liability partnership accounts for the 2009-10 financial year showed Camerons took out a £4.5m bank loan to finance a de-equitisation round in 2010 that affected 16 partners. The firm also restructured its partnership earlier this year resulting in at least eight partners agreeing to leave the firm as well as one de-equitisation.

Camerons has a three-tier partnership consisting of office partners, gateway partners and equity partners.
