Hogan Lovells has refreshed its global board with several appointments.
Washington D.C.-based corporate partner Mahvesh Qureshi is replacing London corporate head Ben Higson in the '45 and under' seat. Higson leaves the board after completing two terms of three years each as board representative for those aged under 45 at the firm.
The firm has also appointed Washington D.C. intellectual property partner Celine Jimenez Crowson as the new board member for the Americas, taking over from Houston-based litigation partner Bruce Oakley who held that role for three years.
Oakley has now taken over as board member for the U.S. (except D.C.) from Miami litigation partner Richard Lorenzo, while Madrid based Spanish insurance and reinsurance head Joaquín Ruiz Echauri has been re-elected to the continental Europe seat.
The firm's chairman, Leo von Gerlach, said in a statement: "I'd like to welcome Celine and Mahvesh as new members of the board, congratulate Bruce on his new seat on the Board, and Joaquín on his re-election to the continental Europe seat.
"I also offer my thanks and gratitude to Richard Lorenzo, who has served on the board since 2018, and Ben Higson, who served on the board since 2014."
Board members can serve up two terms of three years each at the firm. The board comprises 12 members and supervises the affairs of the firm and its management on behalf of the partners.
The new board appointments follow the firm shaking up its management structure in April, when it announced it would combine some of its major practices groups and regions.
Allen & Overy has also refreshed its senior management recently, appointing a quartet of new partners to its executive committee.
