Andrew Masraf, who has been with Pinsent Masons for nearly three decades and has served as global head of corporate and global head of transactional services, is set to become the firm’s newest senior partner.
The news follows Lawyers Weekly’s recent reporting on the firm’s FY22 results.
In accordance with the firm’s policy, Richard Foley – who is the incumbent senior partner – will step down after eight years in the role, having served the second of two allowable terms.
Reflecting on his departure from the position, Mr Foley said: “Re-orienting our strategy around our purpose has helped us to deliver the best for our clients and our people, and created a business that we are proud of. A business that positively impacts the communities we serve.
“We’ve come a long way in eight years, and I’m excited for what the future holds for Pinsent Masons. My sincere congratulations to Andrew, he will make an excellent senior partner and the firm simply couldn’t be in better hands.”
Speaking about his new role, Mr Masraf said: “Pinsent Masons is an entrepreneurial and energetic business that has made significant strides under Richard’s leadership.
“We have a mindset that consistently seeks to deliver new solutions and develop different ways of working as our clients and markets evolve. This, combined with the culture that we have cultivated as a purpose-led business, means Pinsent Masons is an organisation that never stands still. I’m excited to be taking on the senior partner role and motivated about what we, as a business, can achieve together.”
Ms Masraf will assume the senior partnership role from 1 October 2022.
