Denton Wilde Sapte chief executive Howard Morris has been handed a second three-year term at the helm following an uncontested election. His new term will start in February 2008.

Partners at the top 20 City law firm were asked in September to put their names forward if they wished to stand against Morris. However, as first reported on legalweek.com, it was widely expected that Morris would be retained for a second term unopposed.
