The City of London Law Society (CLLS) has announced the appointment of David Hobart as the first chief executive of the society; he will begin his new role in May.
David is currently the chief executive of the Bar Council, a position he has held since 2004, where he has played a key role in restructuring the Bar Council’s activities during a period of change driven by the Legal Services Act 2007.
David McIntosh, CLLS chairman, said he was delighted that the society had been able to recruit someone of David Hobart’s standing at at time when it was vital to consolidate and advance the society’s role on behalf of all of its members, including the majority of the UK’s leading commercial law firms.
