Freshfields has made up more than 40 new partners in its largest-ever promotion round; its first since revamping its partner compensation structure and introducing a new salaried partner tier.
The firm has elevated 47 lawyers to partner, with 43 promotions taking effect from 1 May, and four other lawyers promoted to partner over recent months. The tally represents the firm’s largest promotion round in its history and is an increase of 88% from last year’s total of 25.
