After making its first ever lateral hire in London last month, Slaughter and May has strengthened its London bench with five new partners, including three women. Macfarlanes also made up three partners in the City earlier this week.
In its partnership round announced by the Magic Circle firm today (30 March), Slaughters added seven across London, Brussels and Hong Kong. The firm made up three fewer than last year, but more than the four it promoted in 2015.
