White & Case has promoted just two London-based lawyers in its 2009 partnership round, with a total of 21 made up across the firm's global network.
Last year the US firm made up a record total of 10 new partners in London, but this year only Andrew Macklin (M&A and corporate) and Mark Castillo-Bernaus (energy, infrastructure and asset finance) were promoted in the City. Both are English-qualified solicitors.
Worldwide, the total number of new partners was down by roughly a third, with 21 promotions compared to 31 last year.
New York was the only US office to receive new partners, with three made up. South America took one promotion with a new M&A partner in Sao Paulo.
Germany saw the highest number of promotions, with three in Frankfurt and one in Berlin. Paris took three promotions while elsewhere in Europe, Brussels, Prague, Helsinki and Moscow all received one new partner.
In Asia, two lawyers were made up in Hong Kong, one in Tokyo and one in Beijing.
Corporate and M&A was the practice area to receive the most new partners with eight, while banking and finance-related areas saw five promoted. Two were made up in tax and project finance respectively, while IT, disputes, antitrust and white collar criminal defence were also represented with one.
White & Case chairman Hugh Verrier (pictured) said: “Our new partners are leaders who have demonstrated their dedication to our clients and the firm. They represent the diversity of our global business and give us much confidence for our future.”
The promotions were effective as of 1 January.
