International law firm Trowers & Hamlins has unveiled a new leadership structure designed to accelerate delivery of its 2030 growth strategy and strengthen commercial performance.
The refreshed model marks a significant step towards realising the firm's ambitions to be a brand of choice for clients and an employer of choice for attracting and retaining talent.
From 1 April 2026 the firm will operate through a streamlined governance framework comprising three core bodies; a Supervisory Board, an Executive Board and an Operations Committee. The new structure is designed to improve accountability, speed of decision-making and operational agility across the business.
The announcement also marks the beginning of Sara Bailey's second term as Senior Partner and Paul Marco being re-elected as sole Managing Partner.
Sara Bailey, Senior Partner said:
"This is an important stage in our growth strategy. We have set a revenue target of £230 million by 2030 and to achieve that we need a structure that allows us to work in a collaborative and coordinated way. Like all businesses, in order to grow we have to be commercial, but it's about more than that for us. We have built this new structure carefully to preserve what makes Trowers special.
We needed to lean into what we do best. We operate in a collaborative way across all our locations; we work for clients across different jurisdictions and it made sense to create a structure that replicated this at that strategic level. We have prioritised how we manage our performance and streamlined how we operate, in order to be resilient and able to flex and adapt to external challenges."
Paul Marco, Managing Partner adds:
"This is about unlocking growth through clarity and execution. By simplifying how decisions are made and who is accountable, we are better positioned to respond quickly to opportunities and deliver consistently for our clients. The structure gives us sharper commercial focus, ensuring our strategy translates directly into performance. It enables our people to operate with greater clarity, empowers our partners to drive performance, and supports continued investment in the areas where we see the strongest client demand. Ultimately, this positions us to scale more effectively, compete more strongly and deliver long-term value for our clients."
Over the past financial year the firm has continued its growth trajectory with 11 lateral hires across key strategic areas and expansion internationally with the opening of its Saudi Arabia office. The new governance structure underpins this growth and provides the platform to deliver on the firm's strategic ambitions.
