Linklaters has made its third senior appointment in the firm's finance and projects division this year, with London partner Daniel Tyrer set to become the firm's new global head of projects this May.
The Magic Circle firm has chosen Tyrer to fill the role after current Hong-Kong based global head Stuart Salt finished his four-year term. Salt will return to fee-earning at the firm.
Tyrer spent the first three years of his career in Australia after qualifying with Linklaters in 1997, and returned to London in 2000.
After a four-year spell in London, he was made partner and appointed head of CIS energy in the firm's Moscow office where he spent the next six years, before returning to London in 2010.
The firm has also extended the terms of two other practice heads in the finance and projects division. Financial regulation head Peter Bevan and capital markets head Michael Voisin have both had their terms extended by two years until 2021.
The firm's finance and projects division is one of three areas the firm splits work into, alongside corporate and dispute resolution.
The division then splits into six practice areas: projects, banking, capital markets, financial regulation, investment funds and real estate.
Tyrer is the most recent appointment within the division. Former innovation co-head Paul Lewis will begin his term as overall division head this May, while in February the firm appointed its first non-London partner as global banking head.
Current global head of finance and projects at Linklaters, Michael Kent, who will step down on May 1, said in a statement that Tyrer is "ideally placed to succeed Stuart in continuing the group's development over coming years".
Managing partner Gideon Moore also had his term extended last week, after partners voted him in for a second reduced term.

- Finance and projects global division head: Paul Lewis (from May 1)
- Projects global head: Daniel Tyrer (from May 1)
- Banking global head: Davide Mencacci
- Capital markets global head: Michael Voisin
