Mackrell International (MI) has appointed Chris Short of Weir & Associates as new Chair of its Global Membership Committee.
MI’s Regional membership Committees in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific regularly meet and review prospective members in response to client demand and ever-changing global business trends. All members are volunteers. Chris Short will lead and coordinate the committees with a global and inter-regional oversight.
Already, plans are in place for the inaugural African Regional Meeting in July 2016 hosted by Kasirye, Byaruhanga & Co Advocates in Kampala, Uganda.
Chris will attend the meeting together with existing African members and prospective regional firms as he seeks to increase MI's presence on the continent.
Clive said “Demand for membership places exceeds supply as many independent law firms recognise the increasing power of global networks and MI’s growing business development reputation. Chris takes over at a pivotal time in our growth and when we are turning our attention to membership criteria and boosting our presence in areas with client demand for presence on the ground.”
