Clifford Chance re-elects Global Head of Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice

Clifford Chance partners have elected Jeremy Sandelson to serve a second four-year term as global head of the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice.

Jeremy has been in the role since 2009 and before that was Regional Managing Partner for Clifford Chance in the UK and the Middle East from 2005.  He became a partner in the Firm in 1988 and was elected managing partner of the London Litigation practice in 2003.

Managing Partner David Childs said: "Jeremy has done a terrific job as global head of the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice since his election soon after the start of the financial crisis, overseeing revenue growth of nearly 30% in that time. I am confident that we will see this pre-eminent practice go from strength to strength over the next four years."

Jeremy Sandelson said: "I am delighted to have another opportunity to lead what I believe is the world's best international litigation and dispute resolution practice.

"I look forward to working with everyone at Clifford Chance to ensure that we remain uniquely well-placed to serve our clients in the years ahead. We will continue to invest in our strong global network, with market-leading practices in each of the world's financial centres, and the cross-border collaboration our clients increasingly rely on as they face new challenges in a fast-changing world."

Recently Clifford Chance's Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice has advised Griffin Coal in relation to a AUS3.5bn coal supply agreement claim; Raytheon in arbitration against the UK Government in relation to the termination of the e-Borders programme and Autonomy founder Mike Lynch in relation to allegations of financial impropriety and misrepresentation made by Hewlett Packard.

Jeremy will continue to act as London head of the Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice alongside his global role.
