Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) is to make up 11 new partners, with the firm's City arm gaining nine new partners and Singapore and Abu Dhabi adding one new partner apiece.
The London haul includes one non fee-earner, the firm's head of risk Nicole Bigby, who is a qualified lawyer.
The remaining City promotions comprise Michael Weir in corporate, Daisy Reeves in finance, Catherine Gelder, Amir Ghaffari and Neil Owen in dispute resolution and Celia Berg, Deepa Deb and Nick Skea-Strachan in real estate.
Elsewhere, Marius Toime has been added to the partnership in the firm's finance practice in Singapore and Charles Lilley has been made up in the litigation group in Abu Dhabi.
