Andrew Jones, a projects partner in London, is taking on the role. Meanwhile, Simon Davies - managing partner of Linklaters worldwide - assumes the position of head of the EEMEA (Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa) group, but on an interim basis. A separate India head - Narayan Iyer - has already been appointed. The managerial reorganisation has been triggered by the decision of Sandeep Katwala to stand down as head of EEMEA including India and Africa. Source: The Lawyer
