International firm CMS today set a new benchmark for the promotion of women to senior poisitions by announcing that females make up 27% of 2017 partner promotions. In all, the firm, which is due to combine with Nabarro and Olswang next week, appointed 48 partners across 26 offices globally; 13 are women.
Earlier this week, magic circle firm Clifford Chance announced that 17% of its 2017 partner promotions are women while Allen & Overy managed just 8%.
Penelope Warne (pictured), senior partner of CMS UK, said: 'Providing opportunities for progression for all our employees is a key priority for our business. The broad range of countries and practice and sector groups in which the promotions have taken place is testament to the strength and confidence we have in our global business. We are delighted to welcome our 48 new partners and congratulate them on this significant achievement.'
