LG has promoted four lawyers to its partnership in this year's round, doubling the number the firm made up to the top rank last year.

All four promotions have been made in the London office with Rose Chamberlayne (pictured) added to the partnership in the private capital practice, Jon Lent in finance and Carole Peet and Caroline Walker made up in the real estate group.

Chamberlayne previously worked at Simmons & Simmons before joining the firm in 2006, while Peet was previously a partner at Eversheds and legacy Denton Wilde Sapte, before joining LG as a consultant. Both Walker and Lent trained at LG.

The firm also made one out-of-season partner promotion in February this year with finance lawyer Nathalie Tanzi added to the partnership in Monaco.

LG managing partner Hugh Maule said: "The new partners join strong existing and developing brands within the firm strengthening still further some of our best teams. Each has tremendous expertise and experience in their respective areas of law.

"It is particularly rewarding to watch trainees develop their careers with the firm and ultimately make partnership – we take great pride in our ability to nurture and encourage the partners of tomorrow."

The news comes after four partner hires for the firm in recent months, with a trio of finance lawyers joining from Stephenson Harwood in January this year, as well as litigator Emma Jordan from Baker & Partners in Jersey.
