Simmons & Simmons senior partner Colin Passmore has been re-elected to the leadership role for a second term.
Passmore's reappointment will see him take up a new four-year term at the UK top 15 firm from 1 August this year. He will continue to work alongside managing partner Jeremy Hoyland, who started a four-year term in 2011.
Litigator Passmore was initially appointed to the senior partner role in 2011 after joining the firm in 1986 and making partner in 1990. He is also the relationship partner for key client Barclays.
Passmore (pictured) said: "I am pleased to be continuing my work with Jeremy Hoyland and the firm's board, to build on the firm's many strengths, including our reputation for first-class client service."
Hoyland added: "This is a ringing endorsement of Colin's first term in the role, and I look forward to working with him in the coming years to achieve the firm's ambitious plans."
Passmore was elected as senior partner in 2011 after seeing off competition from former managing partner Mark Dawkins. He was based in the firm's Hong Kong office from 1986 to 1991, and in Abu Dhabi in the early 1990s. He also served on the firm's strategy and policy committee in the late 1990s and was a member of the firm's board for five years.
