Ashurst’s management board has appointed Simon Bromwich for a third term as managing partner.
 
Bromwich will start his third term at the helm of the top 10 City firm in January 2010 for a further three years. He was first appointed in 2004 after only four years as a partner at Ashurst, and subsequently reappointed in 2007.

The decision was revealed to partners today after having been decided upon by the eight-member management board earlier this week. Unusually, the managing partner position is an unelected role, where as the senior partner role is voted on by the partnership.
