Harneys re-elects William Peake as Global Managing Partner

16 Dec 2025

Harneys is pleased to announce that its partnership has unanimously re-elected William Peake as the firm’s Global Managing Partner for a second term. His re-election is effective from 1 January 2026.

Since his appointment in January 2023, William has steered the firm through a period of significant change following the sale of its fiduciary business in July 2024. The sale enabled the firm to focus on its strategic growth, including the launch of new offices in Jersey and Dubai in 2025, reinforcing its dedication to meeting client needs and expanding its global footprint.

William commented: “I am delighted to be unanimously re-elected as Global Managing Partner. I never take the continued trust and support of the partnership for granted as it breathes life into my role. I am merely a custodian for the future of the firm and my role is to leave it in a better shape than when I was appointed. That’s what all my predecessors have achieved, and I hope to be able to continue to do the same. My focus remains on ensuring the delivery of impeccable legal services from our 11 offices worldwide to allow our clients to thrive.”
