LONDON (PRWEB)
January 28, 2020
Helena Samaha, President of Lex Mundi, has been named to the Hot 100 List, published by The Lawyer.
The Lawyer Hot 100 List recognizes the most daring, innovative and creative lawyers from in-house, private practice and the Bar. Nominations come from across the legal profession. As the only leader of a legal network included on the list, Samaha has been recognized for helping to shape the legal profession now and into the future.
Samaha started her new role in June 2019, becoming the first woman president in Lex Mundi’s history. As noted by The Lawyer, she hit the ground running as she met with dozens of member firms around the world. In 2020, her strategy centers around revamping the services that Lex Mundi provides its members with a client-centric focus and agenda.
She will concentrate on ways of improving the retention of legal talent, supporting members in their business and client development, and modernizing both Lex Mundi and its members’ technology and innovation strategies. She would also like to incorporate more firms from North Africa and the Middle East into Lex Mundi’s membership.
Having worked at Clifford Chance and DLA Piper, as well as in-house as GC at Virgin and Liberty Global in the UK, AlixPartners in Paris and Orbit Showtime Network in Dubai, Samaha is in a unique position to improve the global legal market through Lex Mundi’s 160 firms. The coming year will see her strive to help members of the network build bridges to better serve their clients.
