International law firm Harneys has promoted a number of its team members to the status of partner and counsel, alongside leadership changes. 

For the first time, the group has promoted two individuals from its fiduciary business and business support function who are not practising lawyers as partners. All changes were effective from 1 January 2022.

The lawyers promoted to partner are Ian Clark (investment funds | Hong Kong), Francesca Gibbons (litigation, insolvency and restructuring | London), Joshua Mangeot (regulatory and tax | BVI), Charles Moore (private wealth | Cayman Islands), and James Smith (investment funds | Cayman Islands).

Two non-fee earners have also been promoted to partner: Maria Pia Buchi, managing director for Harneys Fiduciary, and Felice Swapp, global chief operating officer.

Three senior associates have been appointed to counsel: Mathieu Gangloff (corporate | Luxembourg), Matthew Howson (private wealth | London) and Massimiliano della Zonca (corporate | Luxembourg).

Among other changes Philip Graham is taking on the role of non-executive chair of the Harneys Fiduciary Board, Linda Johnston is joining Harneys as the firm’s chief human resources officer, and Vanessa Molloy will become the firm’s Luxembourg office managing partner. Finally, following a transition period, Ross Munro will begin his role as global managing partner.
