Hausfeld global leadership update: Anthony Maton becomes Senior Partner; Brian Ratner continues as Global Chair

London, Washington - Hausfeld announced a planned transition in its global leadership as Anthony Maton takes on the role of Senior Partner while Brian Ratner continues his role as Global Chair of the firm, effective April 2026.

After serving as Global Co-Chair for the past five years, Anthony will focus fully on his practice - particularly in London and across Europe, key client relationships, and strategic business development, while remaining a senior advisor to Brian and Hausfeld’s global leadership team. 

Brian, who has also served as Global Co-Chair during that time, will continue to lead the global firm in collaboration with the Global Executive Committee, including Hausfeld’s Managing Partners, the new Senior Partner, Chair Emeritus, and Global CFO.

“I’m proud to continue as Global Chair of Hausfeld and am grateful for Anthony’s support and that of the Global Executive Committee and our partners,” said Ratner. “Our strategy, values, and purpose remain unchanged, and I look forward to Anthony’s ongoing counsel and strategic guidance as a senior advisor and global ambassador for Hausfeld.”

“There is significant opportunity for Hausfeld ahead” added Maton. “Focusing more of my time within the UK and Europe will allow me to better use my networks and contribute in the areas where I can have the greatest impact, while continuing to advise Brian and support the firm’s global strategy.”

The firm's approach to delivering high quality, mission-driven advocacy for claimants worldwide remains unchanged.
