Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77887, member: 636"] Jones Day just promoted 33 lawyers to partner, which is a few fewer than last year. About forty-two percent of the new partners are women, a rate similar to the prior year's class. Most are in the United States, with New York and Los Angeles each getting four. London saw four promotions internationally, while other cities like Paris and Singapore got one each. Their corporate practice group had the biggest haul with eight promotions. Business litigation followed with seven. The new partners work across various specialties, from financial markets to intellectual property. Managing partner Gregory Shumaker gave a standard statement about the group serving clients globally. The firm noted its corporate lawyers recently handled some large acquisitions. They also brought in a few partners from other firms earlier this year, like two from Hogan Lovells in Sydney. The promotions take effect at the start of next year. [/QUOTE]
