Slaughter and May has made up seven London associates to partner in its largest promotion round since the downturn.
The promotions mark the biggest batch of new partners the firm has made up since 2006 when it made up eight lawyers. The round is significantly up on last year's equivalent, when the firm made up two partners in the London office.
Three of the new partners are female, with women now accounting for 20% (24 partners) of the total partnership. Susannah Macknay will join the firm's corporate partnership ranks, while Azadeh Nassiri (pictured) has been made up in the financing group and Anna Lyle-Smythe in the competition practice.
By practice area, competition has taken in two new promotions, with associate Jordan Ellison joining the partnership alongside Lyle-Smythe. Meanwhile dispute resolution lawyer Jonathan Clark, tax associate Dominic Robertson and restructuring lawyer Tom Vickers have also been promoted.
Commenting on the new partner elections, senior partner Chris Saul said: "We are delighted to welcome seven very talented new partners. They cover a range of practice areas and will, I know, make a tremendous contribution to the firm's practice."
The news comes after the firm made its first ever lateral partner hire with the addition of Morrison & Foerster US capital markets partner John Moore in Hong Kong in January, as well as promoting competition lawyer Natalie Yeung and corporate associate Clara Choi. The move brought the total number of partners based in Hong Kong to 11.
The new partners will join the firm's partnership on 1 May this year, bringing the firm's partner count to 119, with 105 based in London.
