“They are a testament to the talent that our firm attracts, to the strength of our practice in the region and to the importance of our region to our clients and our firm globally.”
Matthew Layton, Clifford Chance Global managing partner Matthew Layton added: “I am proud to welcome such a talented group of lawyers into the Clifford Chance partnership. Every one of them has demonstrated commitment to delivering great service to our clients through their deep expertise and collaborative teamwork with colleagues throughout the firm.”
