Leading international law firm, Clifford Chance has today announced the promotion of 24 lawyers to its partnership.

The new partners' practices cover public M&A and IPOs; Private Equity, funds and trusts; leveraged, acquisition, asset and project financing; investigations, commercial litigation; tax and employment matters; and sanctions. The new partners are based in 13 of the firm's international offices.

Each of these new partners has already made their mark: by virtue of the quality of their expertise and service delivery, they are seen as 'go-to' advisors by their clients; they are role models for our teams; and they play a critical part in delivering the firm's strategy. I congratulate each of them for their impressive achievements to date and the valuable contribution they have already made to the firm and I look forward to working alongside them as they further develop their careers at Clifford Chance."
