Statement regarding former Senior Partner Julian Tonks

05 Mar 2014 | 04:02 pm |

We are deeply saddened by news of the untimely death of Julian Tonks. Julian was Senior Partner of the firm from 1994 to 2005 and played a huge part in the firm's history. Under his stewardship, the firm grew significantly in size, scale and international reach and he led the firm through several successful mergers. His strategic vision and drive truly laid the foundations that have allowed us to become the firm we are today. Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with Julian's wife and son at this difficult time.
