Peter Martyr, CEO of global legal giant Norton Rose Fulbright, will start a new three-year term as firm leader on Jan. 1, 2018.

A firm spokesperson confirmed Tuesday that Norton Rose Fulbright’s partnership tapped Martyr for a sixth term in June. By the end of his new term, Martyr will have led the firm for more than 18 years, having first taken the reins at what was then Norton Rose in 2002. It remains unclear whether Martyr was elected or reappointed to the firm’s top leadership role.
