New deputy voted in

Profession

Allen & Overy LLP competition consultant John Wotton has been elected deputy vice-president of the Law Society.

Wotton believes strongly in a single solicitors’ profession: “The City firms need a strong Law Society, which understands their priorities and can work with them, at home and abroad. I aim to work for each and every member of the profession to ensure that the Law Society offers them the support and services that solicitors want,” he says. Beachcroft LLP partner Bob Heslett will take over from Paul Marsh as president in July.
