U.K. firms Osborne Clarke and BLM have both achieved a female majority in their latest partner promotion rounds. 

U.K.-based insurance and dispute resolution law firm BLM announced its largest promotion round since 2014, making up 21 associates to its partnership. Last year, it promoted 16.

Nearly three quarters of the promotions are women, which is its highest proportion in at least 10 years, according to the firm. The promotions mean 44% of the firm's 234 partners are female.
