London sees three corporate lawyers promoted along with three disputes lawyers, one real estate lawyer, one finance lawyer and Libby Jackson, the global head of the firm’s Alternative Legal Services business. HSF launched its global alternative legal services centre from its Belfast office in June 2015, which has since grown to a team of some 350 legal and technology staff in Belfast, Brisbane, London, Perth, Sydney, Shanghai and Melbourne. In Asia the promotions are in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia where the firm is launching in May.

The revelations are much in line with last April’s round of promotions which impacted 20 lawyers in its global partnership – six of whom were also women. The company has made a commitment to working towards a target of a 30 per cent female partnership by 2019.
The list
Those promoted in London are Greig Anderson, Paul Chases, David Coulling, Reza Dadbakhsh, Nish Dissanayake, Rachel Lidgate, Nick May, Donny Surtani and Libby Jackson. In Paris Rachel Campbell and Christopher Theris made the cut and Javier de Carvajal in Madrid. In Australia Nick Carney, Peter Davis, Tania Gray, Clayton James were made up in Sydney along with Miles Wadley and Jon Evans in Melbourne. Others are: Hannah Cassidy in Hong Kong, Glynn Cooper in Kuala Lumpur and Fatim Jumabhoy in Singapore.
