Meanwhile, Anglo-Canadian firm Gowling has made up five new partners. The total figure is on par with last year, however in 2017 four of the five new partners were female.
Four of the new partners in 2018 are in Birmingham – including sole woman Zoe Fatchen – with one in London, IP specialist John Coldham.
The other new partners for Gowling are real estate directors Matt Walker and Joe Morris and corporate director Ragi Singh.
