Nick Thomas, senior partner (pictured), said: 'It brings me great pleasure every year to see our up and coming lawyers’ hard work recognised with promotion to partnership.
'The firm would not be where it is without the talent and tenacity of all of our lawyers in seeking the very best outcomes for our clients and I look forward to many more equally well-deserved promotions in the years to come.'

The firm also completed its biggest office move yet – part of the ‘WorkWise’ global transformation programme – with more than 600 people relocating to a new London office inside the city’s iconic Walkie-Talkie building.
