"These promotions underline our continued investment in those areas that are increasingly important to our clients, such as regulatory and internal investigations, tech and sector specialisms such as funds and investment management. They also reflect our commitment to ensure that the diversity of our partnership develops to reflect the rich pool of talent across our global firm today.  The voices of this group, and other newer generations in the firm, are essential in shaping our future in a fast-changing market environment.  I look forward to working with them all as we help our clients with their biggest opportunities and challenges in the years ahead."
