MARKET MOVEMENTS
Appointments CORRS NAMES INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM Corrs Chambers Westgarth has created eight new leadership positions to boost its independent global engagement model. As an alternative to having international office locations, the firm focuses on cultivating strong relationships with law firms overseas. This network also includes relationships with governments and other businesses. “We are now completing this footprint by appointing chair and co-chair leadership roles to existing markets and formally entering the new markets of South America and Africa,” Corrs CEO John Denton said of the appointments. The new positions will assist the firm’s international business groups, and cover Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America and the United Kingdom. The appointments supplement existing co-chair roles for China, India, Japan, Korea and South East Asia. International clients currently make up close to 40% of the firm’s large corporate client base.
