Squire Patton Boggs has promoted seven in the City in its latest global partnership round of 30, where it has made up the same number of partners across the globe as it did last year.
Seven City lawyers were promoted including employment lawyer Natalie Bellwood, international dispute resolution practitioners James Barratt and Alexis Martinez, and Aline Doussin, a senior associate in the firm’s international trade practice. Employment lawyer Supinder Sian, litigation specialist Gareth Timms and IP adviser Florian Traub were promoted within the partnership.
This is a boost from last year when Squire made up three partners in the City, but six partners in its other UK offices. This year the firm has also made up financial services lawyer Jeremy Ladyman who is based in the Leeds office and litigator Raymond O’ Connor who is based in Birmingham.
While the firm made up partners across 20 offices including Paris, Sydney, Santo Domingo, and Abu Dhabi, almost half of the Ohio-headquartered firm’s promotions came from the US, across offices in Columbus, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, New York, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami, Phoenix, Washington DC and San Francisco. The firm also promoted nine individuals to principal.
Squire global chief executive and chair Mark Ruehlmann said: ‘These promotions strengthen our global platform and reflect our commitment to the markets and industries in which we operate, allowing us to better serve our clients wherever they seek to do business.’
Yesterday, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer was the first City firm to reveal its promotions for 2016, announcing 16 lawyers will make partnership this year, one less than last year when 17 were promoted.
