Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) has announced its partner promotions for 2017, with 45 associates being made up in offices across the world. Of the 45, 18 are female partners, constituting 40% of the total round.
The promotions mark a slight increase on last year’s iteration when 39 associates were promoted globally. In that round, female partners accounted for 31% of promotions, meaning the figure has grown since last year. Corporate, M&A and securities, and dispute resolution dominate the practice areas seeing added depth, with both practices seeing 13 new partners each. Other practices receiving new partners are IP, banking and finance, employment and labour, real estate, regulation and investigations, insolvency and tax.
