Clifford Chance commercial litigation partner Simon Davis has been elected as the Law Society’s deputy vice president.
Davis (pictured) will take his position in July, becoming vice president in 2018 and then president in 2019. The election saw Davis put through a rigorous assessment process, where candidates were made to attend hustings in front of members. Following months of selection, Davis was eventually chosen from a wider pool of seven candidates via a proportional representation system.
