to be implemented in the new financial year. From 1st
May 2012, the firm will be run by an Executive Committee appointed

and a number of separate committees governing areas such as finance
and business development.

modernised management structure. The changes will see us
adopt more efficient, transparent and effective management whilst
ensuring the partnership retains control and oversight of the
firm."
The firm began the review of its constitution
in March last year and following consultation with the partnership,
voted in the changes on 12 January 2012. Elections for the
Supervisory Committee were held on 15 March.
The Executive Committee, led by the Managing
Partner will comprise both partners and business services heads
appointed by the Managing Partner and will be announced before 1st
May.
