Mishcon de Reya managing partner Kevin Gold is standing again for the top job, as the firm’s election process gets into full swing.

Gold, who has held the role since 1997, is currently standing unopposed for the position although candidates have until early November to put their names forward.

This will be Mishcon’s second-ever management elections, after Gold was appointed to a three-year team in 2013.

The process is again expected to coincide with elections for head of department positions.

Gold joined Mishcon in 1995 and became managing partner after a brief stint as the firm’s corporate head. He is also understood to have been unopposed in 2013’s elections.

Since the last elections, Gold has seen Mishcon convert to an LLP status to see all of its fixed-share partners brought into the equity.

He also launched a “10-year vision” for the firm, which suggested Gold did not intend on dropping out of a management role.

In 2015/16, Mishcon’s average profit per equity partner hit £1m for the first time amid a revenue increase in London of 16 per cent to £127.9m.
