Lawyers in 20 of Allen & Overy’s offices across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the U.S. have been promoted to counsel, effective 1 May 2022.
The promotions span all six of A&O’s main practices of Banking, Corporate, International Capital Markets, Litigation, Real Estate and Tax. Of the 57 promotions, 32 of the new counsel are women.
Gareth Price, global managing partner, comments: “Investing in our talent is key to our future success. It’s great to see a diverse group of counsel promotions from many of the offices around our global network. I would like to extend my congratulations to our new counsel on this well-deserved achievement.”
A&O is also pleased to share that Shanghai Lang Yue Law Firm, the firm’s joint operation partner in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, has promoted Jiaming Zhang to counsel.
