The membership of Clarke Willmott LLP has elected Peter Swinburn to be the firm’s new CEO from 1 May 2023, when Stephen Rosser steps down after 13 years as CEO.
Under Stephen’s leadership Clarke Willmott has seen a transformation in its fortunes that sees the firm now enjoying strong and improving financial performance, as well as being acknowledged for its strong client and people-focused culture, leadership and commitment to a positive work-life balance for staff.
In a message to all staff at the firm, Clarke Willmott Chairman, Kelvin Balmont stated: “I’m delighted to let you know that earlier this week our partners elected Peter Swinburn as Clarke Willmott’s new CEO from next Spring, when Stephen Rosser’s tenure reaches its conclusion.”
Commenting on the incoming CEO, Balmont went on to say:
“Peter has been with Clarke Willmott for 11 years, most recently as MD of our Commercial Property Division. In his presentations to the Membership he communicated his commitment to the firm, our clients and our people. I am confident that under Peter’s leadership we can look forward to a continuation of the progress made during Stephen’s time as CEO.”
Rosser remains CEO until the end of April 2023, during which time he will work with his successor to ensure a smooth transition. Following the handover he will remain in a senior role supporting his successor.
