Clifford Chance to slash partnership council as part of management overhaul

Clifford Chance is planning to cut the membership of its partnership council by 40 per cent as part of a radical shake-up of its management structure. The change would see the current 12-member elected council reduced to seven, with members being elected on a less geographical basis, removing the need for a fixed number of partners to represent each jurisdiction. There would also be a reduction in the frequency of management committee meetings.
