We are excited to announce 76 new senior appointments as part of this year’s promotions.
Across our global offices, we have elevated 31 senior associates to legal director known as ‘of counsel’ or ‘special counsel’ in some jurisdictions, whilst 45 lawyers were promoted to senior associates.
These promotions reflect our ongoing investment in our people and our commitment to providing the opportunities and recognition they deserve.
This follows 21 partner promotions earlier this year, our largest cohort since 2022, marking a sixth consecutive year of double-digit partner promotions.
Commenting on the promotions, Meg Catalano, Kennedys Global Managing Partner, says: “I would like to both congratulate and thank those promoted for their talent, dedication and commitment to our clients. I wish them every success in their new roles, and look forward to seeing their careers go from strength to strength.
“This global cohort showcases the exceptional quality of our international bench strength, with our people firmly at the heart of our continued growth”, Catalano continues.
We reported record revenue of £428m for financial year 2024/25. Under our refreshed strategy, the firm has also strengthened its Business Services function, marked by the appointment of former NatWest Group COO Tracy Watkinson as its inaugural Chief Operating Officer.
Senior Partner John Bruce adds: "We will continue to build an ambiguous, sustainable and high-performance culture at Kennedys in which career progression is both visible and attainable. These promotions reflect our ongoing investment in our people and our commitment to providing the opportunities and recognition they deserve."
