Commenting on this year’s promotions, Tim Richards, Managing Partner said:
“Congratulations to our new Partners for this milestone achievement in their legal careers. In 2018 we set ourselves a target for our partnership to be at least 30% female, and I am delighted to say that we are now far beyond that, at over 40%.
“While we recognise that there is more work to be done to reach gender parity, this is a great achievement and is testament to the many talented female lawyers across our business. This group are experts in their fields and provide excellent service to our clients, and I am delighted to see them step forward into the partnership.”
