The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is targeting some of the biggest private practice names in white-collar crime to replace director Richard Alderman when he retires in April next year.
The body has drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates for the role, including Dechert litigation partner Neil Gerrard – who is currently in dispute with DLA Piper over his exit from his former firm – and ex-Simmons & Simmons partner Louise Delahunty (pictured), who is now a counsel in Sullivan & Cromwell’s London office.
