The promotions are across nine offices and 10 practices, with 48% in Asia Pacific and 52% in Europe. By country, nine of the new partners are in Australia, eight in the UK, and one in each of Germany, France, Hong Kong and UAE. 52% of the partners promoted this year are female.
Chairman Ben Tidswell, said:
"I am delighted to recognise the achievements of such a talented group of lawyers. They all have an impressive track record of delivering for our clients, their practices and the firm and I congratulate them all on their appointment to the partnership."
Paul Jenkins, global managing partner, commented:
"The firm is delivering an impressive level of performance and this has enabled us to make a good number of promotions across our offices and practices. And with 2019 marking 100 years since women's entry into the legal profession in the UK, this is also the first time in Ashurst's history that the total number of female partners globally will now exceed 100. From 1 May, 25% of our partners will be female, as we continue to work toward our financial year 2022 target of 33% of the global partnership being female. I am confident that all our new partners will play an invaluable role in the future growth and leadership of our business."
