Leadership, structure and managing risk
We want to be the law firm that clients trust and want to work with above all others. We want to stand out because of our commitment to investing in our clients and empowering our teams, and because of the distinctive Linklaters mind-set. To do this we need to have strong leadership, robust structures for business and risk management.
Leadership
Our Partnership Board (PB) is the senior governance body of the Firm and is responsible for strategic and other major decisions. It is chaired by our Senior Partner and made up of a group of elected partners who represent the geographic and legal practice spread of the firm.
Our Executive Committee (ExCom) is chaired by the Firmwide Managing Partner and its members include the heads of the main business divisions, the firm’s Regional Managing Partners and the Chief Financial Officer and leaders of certain other business functions. It is the forum in which the senior management of the firm discuss issues relating to the firm, including its strategy and plans.
