MORE PARTNERS

The number of new partners in law firms has risen to 307 this year, a sharp increase from a mere 17 in the previous year, according to the latest figures compiled by business consultants Hazlewoods. It is the fourth year running that the number of partners has grown, suggesting there is life yet in the old partnership model. Hazlewoods partner Andy Harris said the rise was due to strong revenue growth in the sector, allowing firms to promote associates to partnership. 18 March 2019
