Slaughter and May announced today (10 November) that finance partner Paul Stacey is to be the firm’s new executive partner. He will take on the role as of May 2017, for a five year term.
Stacey (pictured) will replace Richard Clark who is to retire from the firm next April, when his four-year term as executive partner ends, after having served on Slaughters’ partnership board for 14 years. Clark joined Slaughters as a trainee in 1982 on the same day as senior partner Steve Cooke, and became a partner in 1991 and head of the firm’s dispute resolution group in 2008.
