Goodwin Procter’s M&A practice already has three co-chairs. So why does the firm need a global chair of M&A?

Partner and firm vice chairman Stuart Cable, who was named to newly created position Monday, said it sends a message about the firm’s commitment to the practice and to its clients. And according to Goodwin chair Rob Insolia, the new position underscores the firm’s focus on growing the scope and geographic reach of its M&A and corporate governance work.
