David Childs re-elected as Clifford Chance Global Managing Partner

Clifford Chance partners have re-elected David Childs as the firm's global Managing Partner. This will be David's second term in office, with his new mandate running until 1 May 2014. Stuart Popham, Clifford Chance senior partner commented: "The vote constitutes a strong acknowledgement of David's sterling work to guide the Firm through the unprecedented challenges of the past couple of years. I know that David is entirely committed to the continued success of Clifford Chance and will provide a firm hand on the tiller as we prepare ourselves to take full advantage of improving markets." David Childs commented: "Clifford Chance is a great firm and I'm immensely proud to be a part of it. My priority over the next couple of years is to ensure that we grasp the opportunities which arise as markets begin to recover. Our willingness to invest for the future has always been a hallmark of the firm and we have continued to strengthen our capabilities in core areas of expertise and key geographies even during the downturn. The value of that investment is borne out by the exceptional quality of our client list, of our people and of our international network. I have no doubt that this strategy will ensure that we will remain the firm best placed to support the world's leading organisations as the post-crisis world begins to take shape."
