CMS has made up 31 lawyers to its partnership across Europe, with the UK firm adding 11 new partners.

CMS Cameron McKenna's (CMS UK) results for this year include one partner promotion at Scottish firm Dundas & Wilson, which is set to merge with CMS UK at the end of the week (1 May).

Dundas real estate lawyer Margaret McLean joins the partnership in the Edinburgh office, while at CMS fellow real estate lawyer Jules Needleman has joined the London partnership alongside pensions lawyer Maria Rodia and energy lawyers Richard Sinclair and Phillip Ashley.

McLean is also one of nine female promotions across CMS' member firms.

The remainder of the UK firm's new partners are based across the firm's Bucharest, Budapest, Sofia, Prague and Warsaw offices, with two partner additions to the Romanian base.

Geographically, CMS has made up nine lawyers in Germany, five in the UK, three in France, and two each in Romania and the Netherlands. The network added one new partner each to its offices in Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Switzerland, Belgium, Russia, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic.

By practice, the firms' corporate group has taken in the bulk of promotions with six additions. The energy and employment practices brought in four each while the banking, commercial regulatory and disputes and real estate teams added three respectively.

CMS Cameron McKenna's merger with Dundas & Wilson will bring the network-wide partner count to 830 including the latest promotions.

The results are up on last year when CMS announced a 29-strong global round, however, CMS' London promotions have decreased from nine last year.
