DLA Piper has announced its 2009 partner promotions, with 53 lawyers joining the firm's partnership around the world.
The firm's City office received the largest share of the promotions, with eight new partners made up in London.
In total, 16 partners were promoted in the UK, with three new partners in Leeds, two in Manchester, two in Birmingham and one in Edinburgh.
The firm’s US practice saw 13 promotions, while there were 17 in continental Europe and six in Asia. Within Europe, four partners were made up in Belgium, while the Netherlands saw four new partners with Austria, Germany and Hungary all receiving two each.
DLA Piper's corporate group saw the largest number of new partner promotions with 17 – followed by 13 in litigation and regulatory, nine in finance, six in real estate, four in intellectual property (IP) and technology, three in restructuring and one in employment, pensions and benefits.
The promotions went live at the beginning of the year (1 January). In addition, the transatlantic firm promoted 21 lawyers to the rank of legal director.
DLA Piper chairman Nigel Knowles said: “Recognising and rewarding outstanding talent is essential to maintaining the best teams and advice that our clients expect from DLA Piper. These appointments will help ensure we continue to shape the future of commercial law across the globe.”
Last year, DLA Piper promoted a record 69 lawyers to its partnership, with 41 new partners made up across Europe and Asia plus a further 28 in the US. London also gained the most promotions last year when 12 partners were made up.
The firm also promoted seven lawyers to partner in the Middle East in September last year outside of the regular promotion cycle.
