The John Lewis Partnership has reinstituted its general counsel position following a shake-up of its in-house legal team. 

The company's legal director, Hannah Hullah, has been promoted to the new role, two years after the position was scrapped.  

In 2018, John Lewis replaced the GC role with a newly created position of partnership secretary, which was taken up by Michael Herlihy who replaced Keith Hubber—the company's last GC before the title was dissolved.
