HFW’s Jeremy Shebson has been re-elected to serve a second four-year term as Managing Partner of the global, sector-focused law firm effective April 1, 2023.
He will continue to work alongside HFW’s Global Senior Partner Giles Kavanagh and the rest of the Board to manage the strategy and operations of the firm, which comprises more than 1,100 people across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and which provides a wide range of legal and consulting services to the aerospace, commodities, construction, insurance and shipping sectors.
“I am very proud to have been re-elected by the partners, and would like to thank them – and everyone at HFW – for their continued trust and support. This is an exciting time for HFW. Having invested significantly in expanding internationally and broadening our practices, we now have outstanding lawyers and business services professionals across five continents, and we are seeing that clients increasingly value the fact that, as a sector-focused law firm, we understand their business and their industry, as well as the law,” Jeremy said.
“We are now seeking to really ramp things up across our sectors, services and global network, and will continue to actively target partners, teams and bolt-ons that align with our strategy and that can deliver sustainable, profitable growth. The legal market is more competitive than ever before, but I truly believe in HFW, our clients, and our people, and I’m looking forward to working with Giles, the Board and everyone at HFW to achieve our goal of being the world’s leading sector-focused law firm,” he added.
Giles Kavanagh, HWF Global Senior Partner, said:
“In his first term, Jeremy has driven profitability, professionalism, and a collegiate culture at all levels and locations in the firm. His achievements enable us now to embark upon a period of sustained and significant growth. I am looking forward to continuing to work with him to drive the firm forward.”
