Paul Lewis

I am the Firmwide Managing Partner of Linklaters, a leading global law firm. I'm responsible for the day-to-day management of the firm and chair our executive committee. Before taking this role, I was a finance lawyer for 20+ years and specialised in deals that had a lot of maths and models behind them. Rare for a lawyer, I have a finance post-grad degree - a Masters in Finance from London Business School. What else? I come from a small village in South Wales, went to the local state school, university in England, joined Linklaters out of university and have been here ever since. Passionate about social mobility. Will keep my family out of my LinkedIn bio but they make me happy as do my two fearsome Cavapoos. Massive reader - hoover up books on any and all topics – from business, science, politics to trashy crime thrillers. Love running but running doesn't love me.
