While partnership promotions among the City elite have generally been on the wane in recent years, Slaughter and May has today (19 March) announced the promotion of seven lawyers to its partnership in London, a significant increase on the previous two years which saw only two partners made up.
Jonathan Clark is now a dispute resolution partner for the firm, Jordan Ellison and Anna Lyle-Smythe have been made competition partners, Susannah Macknay has been promoted to corporate partner and Azadeh Nassiri is now a partner in the finance practice, while Dominic Robertson and Tom Vickers have been made up in the tax and restructuring practices respectively.
