In addition to his new role, Mr Elliott will continue to act as a consultant partner for Linklaters. Linklaters senior partner Charlie Jacobs said of the new appointment: ‘I’m delighted to congratulate Robert on his new appointment. It demonstrates not only the exceptionally high regard in which Robert is held within the banking industry but is testament also to the energy and intellectual contribution he has brought to the wider business community.'
Big role outside the law
Mr Jacobs said that the move was 'also another recent example of a preeminent lawyer taking a prominent role outside the law which is to be welcomed’. Mr Elliott was Linklaters’ senior partner and chairman from 2011 until 2016. In his role as senior partner and as the firm’s ambassador, he contributed widely to industry and city organisations, think tanks and community-led initiatives.
