Shearman & Sterling has named respected litigator Adam Hakki as the senior partner successor to David Beveridge, as the firm comes to terms with its failure to strike a merger deal with Hogan Lovells.
The move will be cemented in a formal election later in the year, however the firm said in a statement that Beveridge, Shearman’s executive group, and its policy committee are ‘unanimous in their support’ for Hakki.
