In a strategic move, Eversheds Sutherland is set to expand its reach in the Middle East and Asia as Lee Ranson, the firm’s two-term co-CEO, prepares to relocate to Dubai upon the conclusion of his management term in April 2025. Ranson will continue as a partner, tasked with overseeing the development of the firm’s eight-office MENA network and driving growth in Asia.
