In an increased round, Ashurst has promoted 19 to partnership with a roughly even spread across its European and Asia Pacific offices.
The firm promoted 53% of its new partners across Europe with 47% made up in the Asia Pacific. However, only four of the cohort are women – just 21% – compared with 33% last year. In 2016 Ashurst promoted 12 to partnership in a reduced round, down from 20% the year previous.
