DAC Beachcroft has appointed 16 new partners in a bumper 2014 promotions round.
More than half of the new partners (nine out of 16) are women with five joining the firm's City partnership. The remaining appointments will be spread across the Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds and Newport offices.
The promotions come into effect from 1 May 2014 and take the total partner number at the firm to 256.
In terms of practice area, corporate and commercial, and real estate have secured three partners each, while the employment and pensions group, claims, and motor team have got two each.
In addition, the firm has promoted 22 new associates from 1 May spread across eight offices and seven different practice groups.
Last year the firm promoted five lawyers into its partnership, mirroring the number promoted in 2012.
DAC Beachcroft managing partner, Paul Murray, said: "After years of relative steadiness, this year's bumper promotion numbers are a clear sign of our solid commercial performance to date and the ambition we have for future growth. As ever, the growth of the business is led by what our clients need. This is reflected in the various practice areas, sector expertise and locations of those being promoted."
