Bird & Bird has re-elected Christian Bartsch as CEO for a further four-year term, having led the firm since April 2022. His reappointment comes as the firm continues to deliver sustained growth and expand its international footprint under a five-year strategy launched in 2024.
During his tenure, the firm has recorded its 33rd consecutive year of growth, with revenue rising 28% over the past three years. It has also expanded globally with new offices in Tokyo, Riyadh and Lisbon, while investing in legal technology, including the global rollout of Legora and the continued development of its legaltech & innovation team.
Chair Graeme Maguire said: ‘It has been a privilege to work closely with him… I am confident he will continue to play a key role in driving our firm’s success.’ Bartsch added: ‘I am grateful to the partnership for the trust they have placed in me… I look forward to continuing the execution of our five-year strategy and maintaining the strong momentum we have built across the firm.’
