Latham & Watkins has filled out its top leadership positions with the elevation Thursday of Chicago-based banking partner Brad Kotler to vice chairman of the $3 billion firm.

Kotler's promotion at Latham comes a little more than a month after the election of London-based capital markets partner Richard Trobman to fill an unexpected vacancy at the top. The 2,400-lawyer firm had been set to hold leadership elections in 2020 before former chairman William Voge suddenly resigned in scandal.

Ora Fisher, an executive committee member and Silicon Valley-based partner, also remains a vice chairwoman for the firm, a role she served in alongside Trobman during Voge's leadership. Kotler was not part of a list of eight chair candidates whose names were circulated in April.
