The promotions, which took effect on 1 May, saw Ben Aram, Ed Glasgow, Cindy Tsang and Barnaby Winckler made up to partner in the London office, Joy Middleton in the Chelmsford office, Tom Pelham in Manchester and Alfonso de Ramos in Madrid. The firm now has 188 partners worldwide.

They have made significant contributions to the firm and have worked hard to become partners. We are committed to nurturing and developing our own talent, and I am delighted to see two of our trainees among the seven new partners made up in this latest round.
