Multinational law firm Pinsent Masons has promoted 23 to partner, effective as of 1 May, strengthening its partnership outside of traditional legal services and underscoring its strategic aim to build a purpose-led, professional services business with law at the core.
Advanced Delivery Team (ADT) specialist, Hugo Cassidy, has been promoted as the firm strengthens its bespoke innovative tech-backed client solutions, while head of account management for Vario Flexible Services in UK and Asia Pacific, Geraldine Kelm, has bolstered senior ranks in the firm’s Vario group. Furthermore, Christina Bowyer head of Pinsent Masons Pensions Services, has made partner leading the team in supporting businesses on critical pensions matters such as large-scale pensions and benefit arrangements and acting as an independent trustee.
The remaining partners span the firm’s core sectors – Energy, Infrastructure, Financial Services, Technology Science and Industry and Real Estate – with those promoted based across the Middle Eastern, European, South African and Australian network.
Senior partner at Pinsent Masons, Richard Foley, said: “The talent amongst our newly promoted colleagues this year is, once again, fantastic. The diversity of experience across sectors, disciplines and broader professional expertise will enable us to continue to grow our business and redefine how we collaborate with our clients.
“The provision of legal services has evolved beyond black letter law, and we’ve seen the benefit of combining stellar legal expertise with innovative, creative client-led solutions from across a broad suite of industries. Pinsent Masons has been at the forefront of this evolution and I’m proud to see that our 2022 cohort of new partners specialise in a range of legal and professional expertise from across our multinational network.”
