Hi, I'm Ceri. I'm the CEO of Withers, and I'm delighted to welcome you to the Withers Alumni Network. Having been at the firm for 20 years, one of the things that I most value, and what has kept me at the firm for so long, has been the strength of our relationships. We are genuinely a people-driven business, and so whether you are with us for a few years or a lot longer, we really value you as part of that community.
As the CEO of Withers, continuing to build and celebrate these relationships is a real priority for me. We've created the Alumni Network to help you to stay connected with the firm and with each other wherever you are and whatever you've decided to do next. I'd love you to join the network, stay in touch, and be part of what I hope will be a vibrant global community.

Senior Vice President, General Counsel, vineyard vines
Withers is where I really developed the idea of being a trusted advisor - looking beyond the immediate task and seeing the bigger picture.

What attracted me to the firm was its international outlook, but what really stood out was how that played out day to day.
Re-joiner spotlight
Laurence Ho
Partner, Withers
Laurence Ho’s career has taken him from Withers’ New Haven office to leading private practice roles in Hong Kong before returning to the firm in 2024.
There was a real sense of coming home - many of the people I worked with early in my career are still here, which made settling back in feel very natural.
