Global Race for the Chair

It seems that the global race to succeed to the Chair of Stuart Popham, the senior partner at Clifford Chance is gathering momentum. The Upper Bank Street Office at Canary Wharf in London is warm with competitive filings. Lawyers from different offices of CC are joining the contest. Ambitions seem to be as tall as the building itself.

Nomination of candidates by the partners, followed by voting seems to the methodology that is to be followed for the selection of the final candidate.

Clifford Chance has been a truly global firm with a global attitude. Their policies show that they understand the 21st Century-business-of-law in the true sense of the term. The very fact that they opened up a captive center in Gurgaon, NCR, India, bears testimony to the fact as to how thoughtful they are in the matter of providing quality services at a reduced cost to their clients.

I do recall as to how in a recent London conference Mark Ford, Director, Knowledge Center, Clifford Chance, LLP was stressing the importance and benefits of legal off-shoring to India. He was happy to answer all questions and queries raised by the attendees to the conference.

Our best wishes for the upcoming selection process. May the best man win. Who ever may succeed to the Chair of Stuart Popham, we sincerely believe that he/ she shall definitely take the firm ahead with a truly global outlook. We look forward to your higher level of LPO activities in India.
