Eversheds Sutherland has elected the first-ever female chair of its UK-based international business, with financial services product head Pamela Thompson chosen today (5 December) over ‘a number of very strong candidates’.
Thompson will take the position of chair of the Eversheds Sutherland International LLP for a term of four years from next May, after incumbent Paul Smith did not stand for re-election. Her main areas of practice include investment fund structuring and establishment and financial services regulatory work. She said: ‘I am honoured to have been elected chair and I would like to thank my partners for the trust they have placed in me.’
