Latham & Watkins has internally circulated a short list of candidates up for election to lead the $3 billion, 2,400-lawyer firm.

The move follows the resignation of former chairman William Voge earlier this year amidst allegations of misconduct involving a woman outside of the firm.

A Latham spokeswoman declined to comment on Monday.
