Clifford Chance (CC) is expected to vote next month on cutting down its 16-strong management committee as part of newly-appointed global managing partner Matthew Layton’s election manifesto.
Having officially taken the reins on 1 May 2014 from longstanding head David Childs who had been in the role since 2006, Layton has made the first move towards executing his plans by scheduling a vote to significantly reduce the size of the committee – although it has yet to be decided which and precisely how many roles will be scrapped.
