Firm announces new joint managing partner

Bristows LLP has announced the appointment of corporate partner, Marek Petecki, as one of the firm’s joint managing partners.

Marek, who will be working alongside Theo Savvides, will continue to be fully engaged in his transactional practice, serving clients in the life sciences, TMT and consumer products sectors, alongside his new management role.

“Bristows' model of combining management and fee earning roles is seen as a key way of ensuring that our firm remains responsive to the needs of our clients, he says.

Marek succeeds the firm’s head of commercial IT, Mark Watts, who steps down from the position after six and a half years. Having a particular focus on data protection, Mark continues to lead the firm’s IT & data practice at a time when data protection law is undergoing its most significant overhaul in over 20 years.

“Marek will make a wonderful joint managing partner. He has all of the necessary skills in abundance and commands the respect of everyone in the firm, both as a lawyer and a thoroughly decent bloke. With Marek and Theo at the helm, the firm is in very good hands,” says Mark.
