Firm appoints UK managing partner
Hunton & Williams has appointed Aaron P Simpson as the managing partner of its London office, based at 30 St. Mary Axe (The Gherkin).
Aaron, who will succeed Bridget Treacy in the role, brings with him a wealth of experience in privacy and cybersecurity law, having been a leader of the firm’s renowned practice for many years, first in New York and now in London. His perspective and experience developing this global practice over the past decade will be instrumental to the firm’s continued growth in London.
“I’m excited to be taking on such an important role for the firm. The UK is a critical market for so many of the firm’s clients, and the years ahead promise to present many challenges and opportunities,” said Aaron.
He adds: “It is clear that under Bridget’s leadership our office in London is in a fantastic position to help our clients overcome those challenges and take advantage of the opportunities. I look forward to ensuring the great work in the UK continues. Our future is bright and I’m delighted to have the chance to help take us there.”
