Simpson Thacher & Bartlett just made 59 lawyers into partners, which is their biggest promotion class ever. The New York firm bumped up way more people than last year, when only 44 got promoted, and nearly half of the new partners are women. Most of them work out of New York, but they have also added partners in Washington, DC, London, Houston, Palo Alto, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Luxembourg, and Beijing.
The private funds group got the most promotions with 13 people moving up, and capital markets came in second with nine new partners. Mergers and acquisitions saw seven promotions, which makes sense since that is what the firm is known for. They have been pretty active lately, hiring people from other firms and opening a Boston office.
The promotions kick in at the start of next year, and the firm has been landing some massive deals worth billions of dollars.
