Over a third of the 23 people who become new partners in Linklaters this Friday are from the corporate team - an emphasis on the firm's traditional strength which is in marked contrast to its promotion policy in 2014.

Of the nine new corporate partners, only two are based in the same city - London. The others are in Munich, Madrid, Luxembourg, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Lisbon and Shanghai. Three banking partners are being made up in Brussels, Stockholm and London. Eight of the new partners are in London - meaning that nearly two-thirds are elsewhere. Men make up 70 per cent of the partnership appointments. The firm is also promoting 24 lawyers to counsel. Source: Linklaters
