Hogan Lovells has overhauled its international management committee, with a number of high-profile changes set to take effect this year, including the appointment of antitrust partner Susan Bright as London managing partner.
The committee, which is responsible for the strategic direction and business operations of the firm, comprises the heads of Hogan Lovells' five practice groups and five administrative regions.
Crispin Rapinet is stepping down as Asia and Middle East managing partner, to be replaced by outgoing litigation, arbitration and employment co-head Patrick Sherrington, who is moving to Hong Kong to develop the firm's Asia practice.
Sherrington will be replaced in his current role by arbitration partner Michael Davison, who will work alongside Washington DC-based Steve Immelt.
Sherrington's term as Asia and Middle East chief will run until 31 October 2015, while Immelt and Davison will serve as co-heads until 30 April of that year.
Meanwhile, finance partner Andrew Gamble is standing down as London managing partner and will be replaced by Bright (pictured), who hold the role for a three-year term.
Elsewhere, Washington DC partner Ben Hammond is stepping down as co-head of the finance group, leaving London partner David Hudd as the sole group head for the next three years.
At the start of this year, Washington DC-based partner Jeanne Archibald stepped down and was replaced by Agnes Dover as head of the regulatory group. Meanwhile, corporate co-heads Andrew Skipper and Stuart Stein will continue to lead the practice until 30 April 2015.
Others to see their terms extended to 31 October 2015 include Washington DC managing partner Emily Yinger and continental Europe managing partner Christoph Keuppers, while rest-of-Americas managing partner Dennis Tracey will stay in the role until 30 April 2016, as will intellectual property, media and technology group leader Andreas von Falck.
Co-CFOs Prentiss Feagles and Richard Olver will also stay in their roles for three more years.
In a joint statement, co-CEOs David Harris and Warren Gorrell said: "We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for those members of the IMC who are stepping down for the quality of their contributions as well as their excellent advice and support throughout their term of office." Harris and Gorrell's terms are due to run until 30 April 2014.
Last week Hogan Lovells posted their financial results for 2012, with global revenues falling by just under 2% in 2012 and London turnover dropping by more than 9%.
