Latham & Watkins has promoted five of its London lawyers to partner as part of a 33-strong global promotions round.

Last year, Latham made up nine in London in what was an expanded round for the city, with this year's cohort still an increase on the number of London promotions in previous years.

Three corporate lawyers – Stuart Davis, Beatrice Lo and Neil Campbell – have made the cut this year, as have finance lawyers Manoj Bhundia and David Ziyambi. Campbell was listed as one of Legal Week's 40 Under 40 lawyers for private equity earlier this month.
