Seven members promoted to partner

Debevoise & Plimpton LLP has announced a raft of promotions with seven lawyers named as partners, including three in the London office.

London-based Cécile Beurrier, admitted to practise in both New York and Paris, is a member of the firm’s tax department. She focuses on advising sponsors on structuring and operational matters, as well as private equity and institutional clients on the tax aspects of M&A, corporate finance and capital markets transactions.

Also based in London, Christopher Boyne joins the partnership after more than five years with the firm. He works as part of the litigation department, representing financial institutions, professional services firms and multinational corporations in matters including civil fraud claims, large-scale corporate disputes, shareholder disputes and insolvency claims.

Timothy McIver in London has also been promoted to partner. He specialises in advising on EU and UK competition law, including merger investigations and alleged abuses of dominance.

In addition to the three new London-based partners, three members of the New York office have also joined the partnership: Jane Engelhardt, Eric T Juergens, and Franklin L Mitchell. Arian M June in the Washington, D.C. branch is the seventh team member to be promoted to partner.
