Legal Week has a new editor. Long-time deputy editor Alex Novarese stepped up to the role yesterday. Alex joined the magazine shortly after its launch in 1999 and has played a key role in its development ever since, as well as becoming an astute commentator on the legal market.
As for me, I hand over the reins after seven years as editor, although I remain in the Legal Week stable. It has been a fascinating period for the UK legal profession, which began with Clifford Chance’s ambitious tripartite merger and encompassed the painful fall-out from Enron and 9/11.
