Movers & Shakers: Tony Holland, chief executive of DLA Phillips Fox
Tony Holland, the chief executive at DLA Phillips Fox, cut short his stint as partner at DLA Piper in the Middle East to take up the top job in February this year.

For Holland, the position is the next step in a long career which has seen him work at Freehills, Mallesons, Clifford Chance in London and DLA Piper in Dubai.

"I am really enjoying it. I am enjoying not being a lawyer," he told Lawyers Weekly.

"I feel like I have had enough of drafting documents and reading other peoples' documents and all that comes with it. There is a lot to do [as chief executive], but also a lot of opportunity and potential."
