Simon Levine DLA Piper has extended the term of its international managing partner Simon Levine by two years as the firm seeks to maintain stability amid the uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic. Levine was due to complete his second term at the end of next year, but the board recommended waiving the usual two, four-year term limit and allowing Levine to continue in the role for a further two years. That extension will now coincide with the term of new Americas chair, global co-CEO and global co-chair Frank Ryan, who started his first term last month.
