Stuart Bedford, former City corporate head at Linklaters, is set to join emerging markets private equity house LeapFrog Investments as general counsel.
Bedford takes on the role two years into a four-year term as London head of corporate, having replaced Sarah Wiggins in the role in September 2014 when she became global sectors head. Bedford, who is seen as one of the corporate group’s most reliable hands, relocated to London to assume that role two years ago. Prior to that he spent five years in the firm’s Singapore office.
