Two senior Clifford Chance (CC) partners are set to quit the firm’s London office, with former Asia capital markets chief Stephen Roith and veteran real estate partner Iain Morpeth both leaving the firm.
Roith, who stood unsuccessfully in the firm’s London managing partner elections last year, is joining the London office of US firm Sidley Austin as co-head of capital markets, while Morpeth is joining Oppenheimer Investments as the corporate finance advisory firm’s first global chief operating officer.
