The Magic Circle firm has made up ten banking partners, with a further five in the firm’s corporate practice, three in litigation and one each in international capital markets, real estate and tax.

Over two-thirds (71 per cent) are based outside London, with seven in the Asia Pacific region, six each from London and Europe and one each in Africa and North America.

Notably, 29 per cent of those who made the cut this year were women, down from last year when 41 per cent of the 22 promotions were female.
