The law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher has promoted 30 lawyers to partner, significantly expanding its global partnership. The promotions round, effective at the start of next year, included seven new partners in its London office, representing a twenty-five percent increase in that city's partner count. This marks the firm's largest London intake in several years.
Corporate and financial services practices saw the most promotions, with thirteen lawyers elevated across those areas. The firm also made partnerships in other cities, including six in New York, four each in Washington, DC, and Houston, and several across its European offices in Paris and Germany. Following corporate, the asset management group received the next highest number of promotions.
This expansion underscores the growing importance of the firm's London practice, which has experienced substantial growth over the past five years. The newly promoted London partners specialize in corporate law, asset management, antitrust, and finance.
