Eversheds Sutherland has promoted a record 40 lawyers to its partnership, with women making up 60% of the new promotions. This goes against the grain of this year’s promotions pattern across the City of London.
In a break from the trends observed in the broader City of London’s legal sector, this move is seen by many as a positive step towards diversifying leadership roles within law firms.
Although the details behind this decision and the implications for the firm and the wider industry are limited, due to restricted access, commentators in the legal profession are eager to see how this bold move will shape the dynamics at Eversheds Sutherland and the wider industry.
