Top UK full-service law firm promotes 53 including 10 new partners

Leading full-service law firm JMW has announced 53 promotions across its UK offices: the firm now has 10 new partners in its Commercial Litigation, Clinical Negligence, Personal Injury, Real Estate Commercial, Family and Business Crime and Regulatory offerings, 15 new senior associates and 16 new associates, together with various promotions across the firm’s extensive IT, Facilities and HR teams.

Chris Sutton, managing partner at JMW, said: “We are proud to announce the promotion of 53 exceptional individuals, each of whom has made a significant contribution to the success of the firm.

“These promotions are not just a reflection of their talent and dedication but also demonstrate how we value everyone in the firm, whatever their role, which is a key element of our culture and values.

“We welcome, and foster, ambition, and provide a bespoke programme of continued professional development for everyone, designed not only to encourage that ambition but to give them the tools to progress here at JMW. These latest promotions demonstrate the strength and depth of the talent within the firm, and we are confident that our people will continue to help us deliver our carefully managed plans for growth.”

As part of those growth plans last year the firm announced its intention to bring together all of its Manchester-based people in the city’s flagship building, 125 Deansgate, redesigned its City of London offices, Kings House, and expanded its Liverpool offering to include a Clinical Negligence department.
