CMS has made up 47 new partners, including five lawyers from legacy Olswang and Nabarro, one year after the merger of the three firms last May. In London, the firm has made up 11 to the partnership, with nearly half of those coming from its UK merger partners. Four legacy Olswang lawyers have been promoted - banking lawyer Anne Chitan, real estate lawyer Colin Brett, disputes lawyer Tamsin Blow and TMT lawyer Laurence Kalman, as well as one legacy Nabarro lawyer - Hugh Picton Phillipps in real estate. The other six new City partners are Katie Duffield (banking and international finance), Narinder Jugpal (corporate and commercial), Robbie Leckie (energy, infrastructure, projects and construction), Leilah Rawle (real estate), and Hannah Curtis and Loretta Pugh (TMT). This year the firm has not made any partner promotions elsewhere in the UK, where it gained three regional bases as a result of its three-way merger. Last year the firm made up three partners in its Scottish offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Thirty-eight percent of the new partners are women, spread across 11 countries including Austria, Colombia, France, Germany, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. CMS UK senior partner Penelope Warne said: “As we approach 1 May, marking the first anniversary of our groundbreaking merger, it is an important time to recognise the great talent we have across the firm. We have achieved a great deal in the past year, owing much to the excellence, dedication and enthusiasm of our people. Last year the firm made up 48 lawyers, with 10 UK promotions including four from Nabarro and Olswang.
