DLA Piper has made up 53 lawyers to the firm's partnership around the world.
The firm's London base sees five lawyers join the partnership across the restructuring, litigation & regulation and finance & projects practices, while two additional promotions see Amber Mathews join the partnership in a corporate management role and Zelinda Bennett promoted to a partner-equivalent role in marketing.
Elsewhere in the UK, two lawyers are joining the partnership in both the Leeds and the Manchester offices, as well as one in Liverpool.
DLA's US practice receives 17 new partners, with seven in Asia and 18 in continental Europe.
The firm's Amsterdam, Hong Kong, New York, Oslo, San Diego and San Franciso all receive three new partners
By practice area, litigation and regulation saw the largest intake of new partners with 14. Corporate and finance both saw 12 promotions each, followed by intellectual property on nine.
The promotions, which take effect from 1 January 2011 in the US and 1 May 2011 for the EMEA and Asia regions, mark an increase on last year, when DLA made up 41 internationally with only three making partner in London. The firm made up 53 in 2009, with eight in London.
Joint CEO Nigel Knowles (pictured) commented: "We are delighted at the appointment of so many talented lawyers to the position of partner. DLA Piper remains focused on recognising and rewarding outstanding talent across our regions and practice areas and in these lawyers we have the future of our law firm."
